hi,
The editing of Wikipedia by PR and social media agencies has been controversial. It might raise eyebrows that you're going to inform them how to edit Wikipedia. However, they will learn to edit even without Wikipedian help. I think it is better to engage than to shy away.
Also, suggest that some or all of them who attend the Workshop be invited for the city meetups and even join the mailing lists.

Hi,
This is to inform you that Moksh and I have been invited to conduct a one hour workshop this Friday, 6 January 2012 at Text100, a PR firm (who were media partners at WCI 2011). This will be at their Mumbai office and will be relayed live to all their offices across India and possibly other countries as well.
We will be talking about the Wikipedia Philosophy/5 Pillars, Reliable sources, editing tutorial and COI - what to avoid etc. Any suggestions on other inclusions would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
