+EmacsConf 2019 will be on November 2, 2019 from 9am to 5pm Toronto/EDT
+time; equivalently, 1pm-9pm UTC; equivalently, 2pm-10pm
+Zurich/CET. Instructions on how to watch/participate will be posted at
+<https://emacsconf.org/2019> closer to the day of the virtual
+conference.  Satellite events:
+[Zurich](https://200ok.ch/posts/2019-09-17_announcing_the_official_emacsconf_zurich_satellite.html),
+[Boston](https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/november-2-save-the-date-emacsconf-is-coming-to-boston).
+
+Please note that the times on this schedule are a rough approximation,
+and that the talks might be rearranged or dropped depending on speaker
+availability.  We are aiming for having most talks presented live, but
+some may be presented prerecorded to reduce technical risks.  Further,
+the speakers will try to be available on the IRC backchannel,
+`#emacsconf` on `irc.freenode.net`, to answer questions.  If there’s
+not enough time in the day for all the lightning talks that are
+available, we will play any remaining prerecorded lightning talks
+after the conference ends as time permits, and they will made
+available with the rest of the talks in the following days/weeks after
+the event.
+
+Without further ado, our exciting lineup of talks for EmacsConf 2019:

+
+### GNU Emacs for All
+
+9:30-10:15am EDT / 1:30-2:15pm UTC / 2:30-3:15pm CET
+
+Sachin Patil
+
+Having used GNU Emacs for more that 6 years now and doing Python
+development for equal amount of time I'd like to share my experience
+with this great GNU software which has been around for 30 years.  I'd
+like to go through how I use Emacs for almost all my tasks like note
+taking, agenda, LaTeX, reveal.js presentations, IDE, and IRC.  In this
+talk I'll demonstrate how Emacs can be configured to do all sort of
+things without having a dedicated application for every specific task.
+I'll also talk about how to maintain Emacs configurations using
+org-mode and literate programming.
+
+### How a Completely Blind Manager/Dev Uses Emacs Every Day
+
+10:15-10:45am EDT / 2:15-2:45pm UTC / 3:15-3:45pm CET
+
+Parham Doustdar
+
+I use Emacs every day and I believe it has a massive boost in my
+productivity, and I'd like to talk about why, and how.  I'm hoping to
+cover Emacspeak, using elisp to make packages accessible, and writing
+accessible interfaces to things that are not accessible.
+
+### Managing your life with org-mode and other tools
+
+10:45-11:15am EDT / 2:45-3:15pm UTC / 3:45-4:15pm CET
+
+Marcin Swieczkowski
+
+If you've tried various systems for managing your time you may have
+found them to be too complicated, too inflexible, or just too much
+work. org-mode and org-agenda in particular have a lot of features and
+can be overwhelming to get started with.  However, using only a subset
+of their features they can still be flexible, simple, and powerful.
+This talk will provide you with some tools and ideas for creating a
+simple system catered to your needs, with a full demonstration of how
+I use these tools myself.  We'll be going over org-mode and org-agenda
+as well as some configuration which makes them easier to use, after
+which we'll cover third-party packages and tools such as org-recur
+(written by the author), org-super-agenda, git, and more.

+12pm EDT / 4pm UTC / 5pm CET
+
+### Magit deep dive
+
+12-12:45pm EDT / 4-4:45pm UTC / 5-5:45pm CET
+
+Jonathan Chu
+
+The abstract of the talk would be focusing on some of Magit's more
+useful and lesser-known features, as well as dig into the internals of
+Magit to gain a better understanding and insight of git ultimately.
+More concretely, I would start with some helpful configuration options
+such as formatting the "magit-status-margin" and then go into some
+Magit commands such as "magit-branch-spinoff" and
+"magit-cherry-harvest" - talking about how to use them, how they work,
+and what's going on under-the-hood.  There is a long list of excellent
+Magit porcelain commands to choose from while still being
+accommodating of all experience levels with Emacs and Magit.
+
+### Emacs as my Go To Script Language
+
+12:45-1:30pm EDT / 4:45-5:30pm UTC / 5:45-6:30pm CET
+
+Howard Abrams
+
+Recently, a reddit poster asked others their default scripting
+language.  While Perl and Ruby have often sparred for that position,
+for me, the Shell has always been that comfortable old shoe to get
+things done.  At least, until a few years ago when I realize that
+since I'm always in Emacs, why shouldn't I just write my transient
+helper scripts in Lisp?
+
+Didn't take long to realize why I didn't jump on that idea earlier.
+It isn't very scripty.  However, Lisp is moldable, and it doesn't take
+much to become the scripting language of your dreams.
+
+But I'm not talking about some fancy new functions, I also have to
+talk about the required paradigm shift: From invisibly piping text
+from executable to executable, to visibly transforming a buffer with
+calls to multiple functions.  So let's change our workflow from script
+arguments with completion to function calls with completing read from
+Helm/Ivy.  I daresay, this workflow can be much better.
+
+### Continuously checking for quality of your packages
+
+1:30-2:15pm EDT / 5:30-6:15pm UTC / 6:30-7:15pm CET
+
+Damien Cassou
+
+You are an Emacs Lisp developer and you own a few Emacs packages. This
+talk will guide you through configuring flycheck, package-lint,
+checkdoc, ERT, and others so you can be confident your package is of
+top quality.  To make it stay that way, the talk will also show you
+how to setup github and gitlab so each commit is checked before
+getting merged.

+### Interactive Remote Debugging and Development with TRAMP Mode
+
+3:15-4pm EDT / 7:15-8pm UTC / 8:15-9pm CET
+
+Matt Ray
+
+Emacs' TRAMP Mode allows for remotely editing files and using Emacs
+Shell Mode with remote systems.  This session will walk through the
+basics of using TRAMP Mode with the Free Software tools Vagrant, Chef,
+InSpec, and the interactive Ruby debugging shell Pry.  We'll discuss
+different Emacs techniques for accessing remote systems, editing code,
+and debugging systems as we securely configure them.  This will be a
+live demonstration, highlighting the various Emacs modes and
+techniques used.

+## Future

+4pm EDT / 8pm UTC / 9pm CET
+
+### GNU Emacs as software freedom in practice
+
+4-4:30pm EDT / 8-8:30pm UTC / 9-9:30pm CET
+
+Greg Farough
+
+Newcomers to our favorite editor are often amazed by the ease with
+which they can customize the environment to suit their needs.  Whether
+they consider themselves to be a "programmer" or not, it isn't long
+before this amazement gives way to strong feelings of empowerment upon
+realizing that it only takes a few keystrokes to begin studying and
+improving any part of the Emacs source code.  But rather than being
+something unique to Emacs or just a part of working in a Lisp-based
+editor, GNU Emacs' ability to empower its users has as much to do with
+**GNU** as it has to do with Emacs.
+
+Emacs is a flagship program of the GNU Project in more ways than one:
+for not only is it a successful and communally developed free software
+project, it's also perhaps the one closest to the original vision of
+the GNU system -- a full computing environment centered around user
+freedom and empowerment.  Emacs did not get to where it is today
+because of its technical excellence alone. Rather, the success of
+Emacs is inseparable from its being free software.  The great
+proliferation of communally shared packages, modes, and extensions is
+not a **quirk** of Emacs, but instead a vision of what the average
+computing experience could be in a world that had as its chief focus a
+respect for its users' freedom.  As lovers of Emacs, what can we do to
+work towards this future, and bring the joy of computing back to all?
+With this talk I hope to explore the ethical values that led Emacs to
+its current position, and point to ways that we can help further its
+wild and messy, but enduring and egalitarian spirit.
+
+### Emacs: The Editor for the Next Forty Years
+
+4:45-5:45pm EDT / 8:45-9:55pm UTC / 9:45-10:45pm CET
+
+Perry E. Metzger
+
+Emacs has now survived almost 45 years. In another 40 years or so
+(2059), will people still be using it?
+
+I will argue that this is a realistic possibility, but that to ensure
+that people still find it a productive and fun tool into the 2050s,
+Emacs will require some modernization.
+
+In this talk, I will briefly discuss why Emacs has survived so long
+when many other editors have vanished into history, and how we might
+deliberately seek to extend and expand Emacs' productivity advantages.
+
+I'll then spend the bulk of the talk discussing some improvements
+which I think will assure Emacs' extraordinary utility into the
+future.  These include both important user-visible improvements (for
+example, high quality HTML rendering) and necessary infrastructure
+changes (for example, an incremental transition both to a better
+implementation language and a better extension language).
+
+I'll also discuss some strategies to makes sure that work towards such
+improvements is feasible, incremental, and doesn't burn out the
+developer community.
