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.

Slides, posters and materials

Slides and PDFs

Here are a couple of introductory presentations that you may find useful. Note that you can give presentations effectively in Etoys, including an olpc-style toolbar; and that you can use remote display to present directly from your XO. In Etoys, you can import a standard powerpoint or open office slidestack into Etoys. You can also create a presentation from scratch in Etoys, including both static text and images (as with other presentation software), scripts and moving objects, and other (programmable) Etoys components.
