My favs are:
- improvements in color management and high bit depth color support,
as they show that GIMP is a serious tool for professional work.
I haven't tested them thoroughly yet, so some more testing and
stabilizing might be necessary until LGM.
- UI improvements, such as the new professional theme.
- The unified transform tool (UTT) and the the handle transform tool.
In my local tests on OS X the UTT's performance was a bit slow yet, so
there might be performance improvements necessary.

Secondly I think if we had such a video at LGM we should negotiate and
provide a 2.9.4. release with working builds for Windows, OS X and
Linux at LGM, so people would be able to play with GIMP's new
capabilities after the video made them curious and hungry.

Greetings

Sven
