Keynote is Mac's version of Powerpoint. I don't know how compatible it
is with Powerpoint, but I don't think that's an issue in this case.

Another solution might be to go Publish --> Package for CD, which
collects the PowerPoint file, all supporting linked files (ie video
files) and bundles it up with a PowerPoint "player" that can run the
file itself. This option will let you burn directly to a CD or to a
file that you can transfer to a flash drive. I would take a CD version
along just in case as a backup--flash drives can be temperamental I've
found.

As far as the sleep issue goes, like Kathleen said, just temporarily
lengthen (or eliminate) the sleep option via the control panel.   Good
luck! Molly
