Dear Sven, unfortunately I don't have any slide, but I have always explained JabRef to the new researchers and students in our labs. I think that the Mark approach is the best: live demonstration.
Usually first I give a brief introduction on why the BibTeX/BibLaTeX approach is better than the thebibliography environment and how BibTeX/BibLaTeX works with working examples. Then I introduce JabRef as a better way to manage the .bib file and then I show the other general advantages (not related to LaTeX): 1. import of citation from journal website 2. help for a researcher: organization (groups, labels), search, direct link to the pdf, ecc... Among the advanced topics I thing is very important to show (briefly) that the integration with other software like OpenOffice/LibreOffice and Word is possible. Another important advanced topic is for the people working in a group. As the .bib file is a simple text file, using a cvs system like svn or mercurial, all the users can manage the centralized db at the same time. Good luck! Ciao ciao.
