I have a screen save lock policied applied to a OU that has the users,

desk.

When the user logs into the computer in the presentation room, I do not
want the screen saver to be enabled.

Go and put the presentation room computers into a security group and deny this group "Apply Group Policy" rights.

Another solution would be activating "loopback processing mode" at the standard computer's OU and setting the screensaver-lock-policy there. More about "Loopback":
