One way that has worked well for me is saying politely, 'please let me finish'. And then continuing with my contribution to the conversation.

This takes some amount of guts, but I am yet to experience anyone not allowing me to finish my point.

Also body language can help. Put your hand up with your palm facing the interrupter to physically block the interruption..
