You can access the GUG topics page Fred mentioned here: 
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/GugTopics
If you have other topics ideas, please feel free to add them :)

Besides, there are a lot of slides available for you to use:

It's indeed a great idea. We hosted a GNOME booth @ GNOME.Asia Summit 
2011 in Bangalore, it was very successful. You can loop some slides to 
present what is GNOME and the benefits of using GNOME. Besides, we had 
somebody to show a demo of the latest GNOME 3.0 and help people with 
their installation. We also helped to copy image to those who brought 
their USB keys.

We also have a plan to document how to set up a GNOME booth (in 
progress), if you have other ideas, please share with us as well!
