Events, conferences and roadshows happen all of the time that somehow possibly involve OLPC. The following is a list of upcoming events that are, in some way, related to OLPC and its goals. The community is encouraged to go to these events with their XOs and take part in any way they like

If you are planning substantial presence at any of these events, want to share more information and/or say who in the OLPC community is attending, feel free to create a page, categorize it (as one of Events, Jam, Presentations, etc.) and link it from here.
