Congratulations ... I saw the link, it's seems a great event.
For your presentation, some suggestions:

1. Start for a quick comparision between functional and logic paradigms
show some small examples in Haskell (everybody knows it) and Prolog.

For example:

Code in Haskell

length [] = 0

length (head:tail) = 1 + length tail


In Prolog:

length([], 0).

length( [Head| Tail], N) :-  length(Tail, Naux),    N is (Naux - 1).


and so on,..., some trick examples for syntax  familiarization.


2. The loops structures as you mentioned, and constraints (relations,
simmetries,
    ... reifed constraints, sliding constraints, regular constraints, etc)
   Try to show some  principles from CP that are not  directly embeded in
Functional Programming.


3. One example Cripto-example, as you mentioned, aiming the structure
models in Eclipse.

4. Finally, a "killer example' such  stable marriage ... from Hakank
  http://www.hakank.org/eclipse/stable_marriage.ecl

or

http://www.hakank.org/eclipse/warehouse.ecl


that's my contribution
