In the TS you see
10.file = GIFBUILDER
10.file {

below that all the parts of the image (the base image, coloured boxes, 
text) are defined. In the TS documentation for GIFBUILDER [1] you see 
that the numbered parts are of type "Gifbuilder object + .if". You can 
add a .if property to each of the numbered part.
More about the syntax of if-conditions is available at [2].

Now your next challenge is to find out how categories are connected to 
the seminars. All parts of 'if' support stdWrap so you can do everything 
that is possible with TypoScript.
What's the name of the categories field in the database? Is it a 
comma-separated list of category-IDs or is it connected using an mm-table?
Then you can construct a condition that checks for a specific category.
