So far, I’ve seen rich snippets in Google search results only for large sites with a high number of elements (people, events, recipes, etc.).

Does anyone know of an example where rich snippets are displayed for a small site with only a handful/a few dozen elements?

Our own site has around 10 events (we are a specialized conference organizer) with rich snippet markup but so far they aren’t displayed. To avoid misunderstandings: I’m interested in hearing about all types, not just events.

To clarify: We are using Google’s rich snippet testing tool. Everything fine there.

With only a few rich snippets, your discoverability is probably low, so you probably want to submit it to google directly:

Honestly, I have a feeling it is about as elusive as getting Google Sitelinks. My recommendation is to follow the Google guide for Rich Snippits and when the site gets enough PageRank and keywords hits, it will naturally start appearing.

Also be sure to watch your webmaster tools closely and address any issues Google finds. There is also a section called "Sidewiki" under the labs option to force the description text for the main site search result.

This page also has useful information and indicates your root cause why they might not be working:

Who is eligible for Rich Snippets?
Currently, review sites and social networking/people profile sites are eligible.
We plan to expand Rich Snippets to other types of content in the future.
