There seem to be a few obvious tweaks to try:

1. (Apart from the first few meetings, for bootstrapping) presenters must have attended a few meetings before they get a chance to present.

2. No mentions of one's employer / product beyond the intro slide.

There's nothing special about these two suggestions; the general idea is that the organizers ought to be sensitive to what is happening, and responsive in trying to maintain a healthy atmosphere.
