I would volunteer however, I somehow believe there are far better people than me to help you in this regard. Maybe Aaron or Albert?

I'm no expert here although  I saw (at the last linuxCon in Europe) that most concurred stalls/talks were the ones somehow technical.  Explain the beauty of KDE, it's core (KDElibs) and maybe show the endless possibilities KDE offers ( maybe showing how you could integrate KDE in a corporate environment? )

I've just attended to one LinuxCon (the last one in Barcelona) and, imho, they are not exactly expecting "suits" or "corporate speak". People were very friendly and not necessarilly dressed in corpored style. You could find mostly jeans+tshirts (the ones they gave you when you get your tag to get into the Conference) as well as some shirts. Nothing really fancy.
