Can I use Apple TV to display Keynote or Power Point presentations?
Basically it would be using it as a wireless connection between my MacBook Pro and HDTV.

I used my AppleTV 3 for the first time at a presentation at a Marriott Hotel. It worked flawless in mirror mode with my iPad 3. I was able to bring up my Keynote presentation on their big screen. Actually, anything App the iPad was visible in Mirror Mode. You could also put your presentation in .pdf format and run it from iBooks.
Hookup was a breeze, simple plug their overhead projector's HDMI cable into the Apple TV, connect to their WiFi Network, and I was able to walk around the room with my iPad in hand and run the presentation. I could have also used my iPhone.
My PC partner, was force to stand in the middle of the room with a big black cable hanging down from the overhead projector connected to his PC, and he had to keep pressing the space bar to move his presentation along. Not very cool. I think next time, he'll use his iPad.
I would recommend major hotel chains invest in one of these for their presentation rooms. That way, anyone with an iPhone or iPad could easily give a cordless presentation.- Answered by Scott R from Boone
