Thank you phoebe to offer this! I think it is a great initiative and help for presenters.
Would it make sense to also send the email to all presenters directly? The program committee or local team should have a database (I got several emails directly from them).
I'm very sorry it probably coincides with something else, but I'll try to make it at least partially.

Hello Wikimaniacs,
I hope everyone is getting excited about Wikimania!
This year for the first time I'm hosting a "presentation clinic", the day before the conference officially starts.
- Thursday, August 8
- 15:30-17:00
- Room N002
- http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Presentation_clinic
The idea is to have some time to practice your Wikimania talk and get feedback before you deliver it "live". We will also have a discussion about some general aspects of presenting, including sharing best practices and tips on things like slides, answering questions, etc.
Practicing a presentation ahead of time can help anyone, even the most experienced presenters, give a better and more memorable talk. But especially if you are new to presenting, are nervous about it, or just want some additional feedback I hope that the clinic will help you give a better presentation.
It will only be successful though if both experienced and new presenters attend! So please sign up if you're interested, and remember to drop by with your presentation on Thursday.
best, -- phoebe
