Planning for the 2024 EmacsConf is underway and the organizers are calling for participation. “Calling for participation” means they’re asking folks to submit proposals for talks. The conference will again be virtual and take place on December 7th and 8th.
If you’re interested in contributing, the organizers would like to hear from you as soon as possible but in any event by September 20. Your talk can be short (about 5–10 minutes) or long (about 20 minutes). If you’d like to give a longer talk, that can be arranged too: get in touch with the organizers.
EmacsConf is a great way to share your ideas and get some exposure. It’s virtual so there’s no expensive travel involved. Even if you are unavailable for questions on the day(s) of the conference, the organizers can accommodate that so if you think you have something to say, sign up for talk. The talks are prerecorded so you don’t have to worry about stage fright.
These conferences are a font of great ideas so whether or not you give a talk, be sure to be there. Even if you can’t be there, the talks will be available as recordings so you can enjoy them at your leisure but you won’t be able to join in the after talk discussions.
