Community groups and OLPC have limited resources, which we try to dedicate to materials and tools that event organizers do not cover for speakers. If you plan to attend an event, please budget what the visit will cost, try to get sponsorship from the event planners, and include a budget estimate/request if you are looking for funding support. Ask for donated booth space, submit talks and apply for travel scholarships; and check with local XO groups, who may be able to offer support. |

These are important events for broadening OLPC's mission. If you have an event you want to attend or see people who support OLPC attend, list it here (or add Property:Start date to its page on the wiki). If you are attending an event on behalf of OLPC, to give a talk or with some OLPC sponsorship, make sure you are on the attendees list on this page.
Community groups and OLPC have limited resources, which we try to dedicate to materials and tools that event organizers do not cover for speakers. If you plan to attend an event, please budget what the visit will cost, try to get sponsorship from the event planners, and include a budget estimate/request if you are looking for funding support. Ask for donated booth space, submit talks and apply for travel scholarships; and check with local XO groups, who may be able to offer support.
- For a broader list of events where OLPC has a presence, see the XO Roadshows page
- For presentation materials and smaller events, see Presentations and Jams.
- For slides, videos and materials for events, see Presentations and Posters
Other events to include : Mini-conferences each quarter. Run a naming contest! XO-tech? Xocon? Propose paper talks during the event.
