XOs are regularly demonstrated or on display at conferences and other events. |

If you are going to be at a conference with your XO, and are willing to show it off and let others play with it for a while, please add the event details below. |

If you are giving a full-fledged demonstration of some number of XOs at an event, please note it below in bold. If you or someone you know is attending or hosting an event and wants to include an XO display [but doesn't have one], please leave details in the second list. |
