The audience plays a major role in the presentation too!
The presentation to teenagers with little to no mapping experience vs
GIS professionals would be vastly different for instance.
So consider your audience as well as your 'style'.
Some basic rules for teaching:
Tell them what to do first .. before any mention of what not to do.
Pitch low rather than high, if you get lots of boredom/disinterest then
maybe too low, or simply too long. Try speeding it up or pitch a little
higher or take a break or ask them questions - wakes them up.
Keep them interested .. or you will loose them.
Good luck.

I agree with you about styles. I'm thinking more the core beginner's
practical lessons for "here's how to create a node" 'here's how to
create a way" etc. Which i think learnosm is. You could then preface
this with your own talk tailored to the audience and your style.
We could also build up a list of things you might want to mention in
an introductory talk though. I will start something on my github which
could be added to/extended

My belief is that OSM-UK should have readily available teaching
materials that are easy to do adapt to various conferences and
meetups so that we can spread the word.
That could be good, although each person has a different style of
presenting so probably builds up their own deck of slide decks.
I should at least share more of my slide decks online. It's
helpful to have certain images/screenshots. E.g. some before &
after maps of UK places, and photos of maps being used in
humanitarian settings.

Thanks Andy.
I have 1.5hrs in total. I was splitting it 30mins talk +
1hr practical but can easily change the proportions.

Is one hour all you have? I think you'll be pushed to
do a talk and a
meaningful practical session in that time.
This talk:

which I gave in 2014 (feel free to borrow from it)
lasted one hour.
