Information for speakers and hosts: Here is a nice article by John McCarthy (Washington University) on how to give a good colloquium (Canad. Math. Soc. Notes, vol 35, no. 3-4, Sept. 1999). We have some general instructions for hosting. Here is a local guide which contains useful information for the speaker.
