I don't think you're going to be able to change the super-title
"International Mathematica User Conference 2008" that appears at the
very top of the page in those conference slide show notebooks: the 
conference title is embedded directly in the graphic.

It's possible that by opening one of those conference presentation 
notebooks in a text editor, you can edit it so as to get rid of the 
super-title entirely.  But I don't know how to do it.

For the presentation's particular title, that you can just type over, of 
course.

Meanwhile, I recommend you concentrate upon the organization and content 
of the material itself rather than graphical junk to adorn the notebook. 
  Perhaps select a non-default notebook stylesheet (one that includes a 
SlideShow option for the Screen Environment). I'm particularly fond of 
David Park's "ParkStyle6.nb", which you can find at:
