Your date has passed, so I don't know how useful this will be, but when I
introduce people to jQuery, I usually start with fun, gimmicky things, like
changing all the images in a web page to photos of cats:
jQuery('img').each(function() {var my = jQuery(this);
my.attr('src','http://www.placekitten.com/'+my.width()+'/'+my.height())})
And then move on to show how jQuery enables you to interact with things on
the page, like fading things in and out, resizing things, recoloring
things, and then using mouseovers or clicks to trigger these things on
other objects.
You could also show jQuery getting twitter updates.
