One time, a couple of years ago, I got talked into doing 20 minutes
on TBL at some big conference, in a huge conference hall. About
100 people came. I got there early and place team numbers on the
backs of scattered chairs, placed 'diving cards' at each with my
3 question RAT. I gave a 10 minute overview
with PPT slides about TBL - really basic - then had them cluster
around the numbers, do the questions, hold up cards for answers,
as a demonstration of simultaneous response, class discussion.
I guess it worked since there was a line of people afterwards after
me (not the other presenters!) wanting more information!!!
So, I too would vote for doing something brief but real.

We also viewed the video during the workshop, but that was more as a wrap-up, and was nice but the experience of team decision-making with strangers was very eye-opening!
