you can play with balancing the light from the windows with the
overhead florries... (shudder!)
expose for the face.. get the presenter to use a really thick black
marker.
if the information on the whiteboard is really important, consider
shooting cuttaway shots of the whiteboard after the presentation,
remembering to use the same exposure settings.
it wont be pretty (colour temperature issues, possibly flicker from
florries, etc.) but you will get "coverage"
be nice if you could hang a lightweight lamp (say a red-head or
daylight kino-flow panel?) 2m from the presenter, ( assuming a ceiling
height of 3m) on the opposite side to the windows, focused on the
presenter.
