I think UEFI & GPT would go well together, as they are related to each 
other.

I've spent enough time (both privately and professionally) mucking about 
with disks, partitions, bios and uefi bootloaders that I can take on 
these topics.

Probably a half-session for the basics of what and how (and some 
efibootmgr fun), or a whole-session for more depth (how it got to be 
like this, touching on secure boot, and brief notes on GRUB and rEFInd).

That said, while I find it fascinating and useful, a full night of 
partitions and bootloaders might be too much...
