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.
