As far as having the option of an fsck at boot is concerned I've already
mentioned grub's datehook module. Ok, you have to set it up in grub.cfg
but then you can forget about ever having an fsck run at an inconvenient
time. Assuming your presentations tend to take place between 10:00 and
20:00 the machine would be configured to not run an fsck during that
time slot.

For less work to set up than the previous method you want to take a look
at

Your type of situation is well understood and there is sympathy for it.
