You may consider showing:
- comet coolness - either the chat or the tic tac toe app, get someone
to play against you
- the cleanliness of the templates
- the scalability, high bang for buck
- the cleanliness of the language
- the simplicity of adding an API with the rewrites

I've found that building a comet chat app in front of people gets their
attention. Then I talk about the Scala constructs that led to the 30 line
chat app.
See the presos in here:

I'm also preparing a Scala Lift presentation for Transylvania JUG.
1. First part I'm doing a Scala introduction presenting traits, higher
order functions, currying (briefly),actors etc
2. Present a Lift Chat application and show them the code
3. Promoting the Lift book and Dave's Scala book
Cool! I'll take a look at the presentations on GitHub and crib some from it.
The BJUG is seeing if they can line someone up to do a Scala presentation in
the first half, so I may be able to talk just about Lift and how it
leverages Scala. Otherwise, I can give a brief intro to Scala.
