Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.
