There are public places in Second Life where you can hold meetings. They 
include the Infohubs and some other Linden areas. You could probably 
also talk private citizens into letting you use their land. If all else 
fails, I'll be happy to offer some.

It's certainly possible to set up slide shows (the in-world equivalent 
of OpenOffice Impress presentations -- I'd have said PowerPoint, but 
this is BLU) in Second Life; you have to upload the slides as images. 
Video is harder; you have to have a streaming video server somewhere, 
and that means beaucoup bandwidth.
