# Discussion
- Thank you for all your patience!
- Wheeeee! We made it to the end of the first day! Thank you so much
for joining us for the first day of EmacsConf 2024.
- We\'re going to keep these closing remarks short so that people can
get some sleep in preparation for tomorrow (zaeph is in
Europe/Paris). We\'ll hang out a bit more tomorrow. But if you\'re
just here for today, you can read through the notes at your
leisure.
- Pre-recorded talks are up on the talk pages at
[https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/){rel="noreferrer noopener"}
and at
[https://media.emacsconf.org/2024](https://media.emacsconf.org/2024){rel="noreferrer noopener"}
. They\'re also on YouTube.

come. If you\'d like updates, please subscribe to the
emacsconf-discuss mailing list
