Demonstrating / Demonstrate

"..., which I will be demonstrating."
"..., which I will demonstrate."

Hi everyone. I want to ask a question about the differences between the two sentences above.

Does the first one mean "The demonstration will occur in future and last for a while"? The second is general speaking, doesn't involve whether it will last for a while?

Is it fine if I put a time behind both sentences,such as "tonight"?
(a) ... which I will be demonstrating tonight.
(b) ... which I will demonstrate tonight.

(a) sounds a bit more like you're just about to start the demonstration, whereas you might be saying (b) (e.g.) in the morning. But it really is a teeny-weeny difference, Catherine ~ you could use either at any time of the day in question.
