Don, I'd suggest the KISS principle. Describe what you have implemented or are using on a daily basis. Have a printout or presentation based upon that and then flesh it out based on audience responses. Any questions can then accurately be answered by yourself based upon your working installation. I would rather see one topic covered in-depth 45- 60 minutes plus questions and discussion rather than a shot-gun approach where people leave with a brain frizz.... These are my thoughts and they have no monetary value. Andrew
