I've been wanting to run a game with Eberron for several months now, and I just had the chance to start one up using the Adventure Path.
I started this thread to capture ideas about how to convert to Eberron.
I haven't read the whole Adventure Path yet, so I haven't mapped the entire back story, just the parts I needed to play the first adventure. So, here's what I have locked in so far during the start of the first adventure:
Cauldron = A remote town in the Howling Mountains of Zilargo
Church of St. Cuthbert = Church of the Silver Flame
Strider of Fharlaghn = The Gatekeepers
Here are some other thoughts:
Hobgoblins (below Jzadirune) = Mercenaries from Darguun
Cagewrights = Lords of Dust or Daelkyr or ...
Also, I saw another thread with some thoughts on this topic:

I actually placed my Shackled City in Eberron I started the campaign recently. One thing I changed were the classes of some of the characters. For instance, I made Frieja Doorgan from Thirteen Cages an Artificer isted of a conjurer. I replaced the church of St. Cuthbert with the Silver Flame. I also changed the church of Wee Jas to the Blood of Vol. The Striders of Fharlagn are now just the Striders, I feel they should be kept as a new type of organization in Eberron, later on, the Gatekeepers just don't seem to fit. The churched of Pelor, and Kord were changed to churched of corrispoding dieties in Eberron. I changed some of the monsters in Flood Season to be more Eberronian and slapped the whole campaig in Xen' Drik. Minor altercations were made to the planes, I left Carceri, the Abyss and the Mirror of Planes the same, it would have been too difficult to change. I have begun to use dream sequences also, although one of my PCs is a Warforged, therefor dosen't sleep, they recieve the occasioal dream from Adimarchus himself.
One thing that's always puzzled me is, if you move the Path to Eberron, where do you hold the finale? I suppose the Demodands would be right at home in Xoriat, but that plane isn't AT ALL hospitable to non-natives... (Never mind its a pain to get there...)
I recomend just replacing some of the Eberron Planes with the planes used in the actual magazine (Carceri, Plane of Mirrors, and the Abyss). Switch with Xoriat, Risia, and Fernia or something. Remember it's your world, don't go through the pain of trying to adjust the campaign when it's far easier to adapt the world.

Have you ever noticed, that in the Demonskar Legacy there is a picture of this little halfling who is buying Alek Tercivals goods (don't know his name right now) together with his blinkdog Leepo (don't ask why I know the name of the dog ;). On the picture you can see a statue of a warforged... just noticed this!
Makes we wondering why there are statues of warforged in Greyhawk ;)

The guy's name is Tygot. And with Monster Manual III having Warforged in it and not being Eberron specific anymore, I can see where they might begin to pop up in Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms.
I finally got around to figuring out which planes to use for the Eberron conversion. Change Occipitus to a walled in fortress of Shavarath with the celestial chunks coming from when Adimarchus tried to invade Syrania. Also replace Carceri with a another nuetral prison fortress also on Shavarath. Change the Plane of Mirrors to an area on Daanvi where it is an infinite set of organized chambers.
