+We sent the speakers <https://emacsconf.org/2023/prepare/> in case
+anyone wants to get started on their presentations.
+
+There are several talks that are in progress (don&rsquo;t have speaker releases / full details / etc.):
+
+-   Emacs Saves the Web (Yuchen Pei)
+-   Emacs community information sharing? (Jake B)
+-   Emacs MultiMedia System (Yoni Rabkin)
+-   Emacs development updates (John Wiegley)
+-   Watch Over Our Folders (Bastien Guerry) - penciled in, not sure if he can make it
+-   How to build an Emacs 2: Revenge of the Lem (Fermin) - especially if
+    we can organize a mini-track about other editors; have reached out
+    to ThePrimeagen about Neovim and Musa Al-hassy about VS Code
+
+This time last year, we had 2 proposals, with most of the proposals
+coming in at the end of the CFP. This was usually when we started
+panicking about not having lots of proposals, but I think we can skip
+stressing about it this year. <laugh> Even with the program as it is
+now, we&rsquo;d already have a pretty fun EmacsConf. Can&rsquo;t wait to see what
+it&rsquo;ll look like when more people get their proposals in!
