This quote is almost word for word identical to a presentation that I accidentally went to a few years ago. That presentation even went far enough to pass out a quote from the Edmonton Journal showing the advertising rates. Their presentation was about travel and definitely seemed like a scam.
I have no opinion on scam for your presentation as I am sure there are a lot of great presentations and there is nothing wrong with getting information.
One quick way to find out if it is a scam for me is to go with your wife and after talking to the sales type guy mention that you two are going to go outside for a smoke. If he immediately follows you out to prevent you from speaking alone it is fishy to me.
