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).

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. |
