-All kinds of people use Emacs for all kinds of things. We would love
-it if EmacsConf 2023 could highlight interesting perspectives and
-reflect the diversity of our community. If you know someone who might
-have a good idea for a talk, please reach out to them and encourage
-them to submit a proposal. Many people (especially from
-underrepresented groups such as women, people of colour,
-non-developers, etc.) might not consider themselves expert enough to

-knowledge and maybe even suggest something that you think others would
-like to hear more about, they may realize that they have something
-worth sharing and that we would love to hear from them.

-The submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee. If you
-would like to help review submissions as part of this committee,
-please [[let us know|contact]]. We look forward to hearing from you
-(and the people you want to nudge to speak)!
