Landon,
I presented an "Open Source for Surveyors" a while back which you might
want to make use of:

You might also want to draw upon a subset of the OSGeo-Live presentation:

Hi Landon,
while reading your list some tpics come to my mind which might be of
interest to the audience additionally:
- Big Data in GIS
- adding temporal dimensions to Coordinate Reference Systems
(yes, it's supposed to be plural!)
- Open standards in GIS - still relevant?
my 2 cents,
Peter

The committee that organizes the Annual California Land Surveyors
Association (CLSA) Conference is interested in having a half day or
full day event on open source GIS at the 2014 Conference. They've
asked me to put together some information about our event schedule
and the speakers.
I've put up a preliminary event schedule based on a full day event
with two tracks here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/CLSA_2014_Conference_OSGeo_Open_Source_GIS_Track
I've left several open slots. Here are some sample topics that could
be plugged into those open slots:
- Python scripting with QGIS.
- The business case for GIS.
- Linear referencing in GIS.
- Introduction to QGIS.
- GIS database concepts with PostGIS.
- Remote sensing with ballons or low cost drones.
Other topics might also be acceptable. I'd like to keep the GIS
concepts and GIS software parts of the event very simple and easy for
beginners. This will have greater appeal for most land surveyors.
The last part of the event on GIS programming can be geared towards
more experienced GIS users.
Let me know if you'd be willing to come out to Reno in the spring to
give a talk. I'll get the conference registration waived. (I've got
three speakers from our local chapter, but I could use a couple more.)
Thanks.
Landon
