If I expected that my audience would be mostly made up of people who have been using *nix for years and are comfortable with the cmdline, then I would show how I use Yocto/OE via the cmdline. If I expected that most of them would be more accustomed to Eclipse/GUI-based development, then I would try to introduce them to the Yocto Project via Hob or the ADT.
While it is true that using Yocto is an absolutely amazing tool for building embedded distributions, in the grand scheme of things building a kernel+filesystem for your target is not something that you're going to be doing 3 times every day. In fact there's probably only one member of any development team who needs to know how to create the kernel+fs. The rest of the team is probably involved with writing the "magic sauce" that'll make your product stand out. For those members (the majority of the team) showing how Yocto can also create an SDK that helps them cross-develop their code is more likely to be the stand-out feature that'll pull them in. If I had to create a talk I'd probably spend no more than 40% of the time showing them how neat Yocto is in that you can add various packages to an image and how the package list is independent of the target CPU. For example, you can have 2 different devices, but build an image for both that contains the same packages and all that's needed is a one-line, local, configuration change. I'd then spend the rest of the talk discussing the SDK that can be generated and deployed to the various team members. Then, if a package is added, a new SDK is generated, the team members install the new SDK, update their environment, and "voila!" they can now build an application that uses sqlite3 (for example). There are many previous Yocto/OE talks from which you can draw inspiration. free-electrons.com has archives of many such talks from various embedded linux conferences. These archives include videos as well as slides. Maybe something in that pile can help you get ready?
