I recall that Jason Stover said he did a poster presentation at a conference some time ago. I did short presentation at FOSDEM some years ago - I think the slides are on the 'net somewhere.
I think one problem is, that PSPP doesn't actually provide much that SPSS does,
except from an ethical point of view. So unless the conference (like FOSDEM)
is concerned with ethical issues, then it doesn't really fall into their area of
interest.
Of course, statistical analysis is hardly "mainstream interest" so PSPP doesn't
get the massive following of projects like LibreOffice - so unless the
conference
is about Ethics in statistics, then it's hard to get a main slot.
Perhaps somebody should organise such a conference in conjunction with other
free
stats projects like R, Gretl and Sofa?

I'm assuming that a lot of potential PSPP users (like SPSS users) are in
academia. Has anyone ever approached their professional associations in any
capacity? For user/programmer recruitment? Basic advertisement? Maybe
established a table at a conference, etc? It seems like one way to diffuse "the
word" about PSPP would be through those organizations. Big disciplines like
psychology, economics, sociology, and others regularly use SPSS-- and each
likely have their free-software adherents/proponents, too. Just wondering what
[if anything] others have done like this?
Just curious,
