It's easy to let even a simple meeting get out of hand. Maintaining control is important; the room can sense when you are flustered, you easily forget your train of thought and control over the outcome.
I used some of the following techniques to maintain control over the meeting and bring the team back to a successful conclusion:

It is common to increase your speech when you are nervous. To truly connect with your audience, you must slow down instead and control the speed of the discussion.
Via The Learning Factor
Since we work for you, we ensure that you get quality products, the best customer service, and maximum satisfaction.
Garder le contrôle de vos réunions et surtout les rendre efficaces.
Some very good tips, for keeping even the best thought out meetings in check.
I think the most important tip which can go cross more then just controlling a meeting is that it is ok to say that you don't know something.
