As it currently stands,
I don't believe that OSGeo has an official policy on endorsement in 
using the OSGeo brand.

However, if you have a session which is specifically discussing 
Geospatial Open Source technologies as the primary focus of the 
presentation, then I suggest that it would be appropriate to make use of 
the OSGeo brand.
