I recently completed a similar presentation (however it was longer than 10 minutes).
In my opinion Wicket's main selling point to development teams is reusability and maintenance. Features like OO component model, markup inheritance, and html like templates lead to better reusability and easier maintenance. I would create a simple webpage that consists of several components that show off some customization to a built in Wicket feature, perhaps markup inheritance to get a "border" effect, and an ajax dialog or so. Then I would demo the application from a browser and ask how long it would take to build something similar in struts.... when they answer several days etc show them the Wicket code. Its hard to compete with a solution that produces such clean code with very little effort like Wicket... play that angle.
