+This is a place to collect ideas for talks and other sessions for
+EmacsConf. :-)
+
+## Ideas
+
+- **User stories:** Why and how did you get into Emacs? What was helpful? What was challenging? How did you get deeper into it?
+  - These types of talks help people connect with other people and see different user journeys.
+- **Workflows:** How do you use different packages together? What kind of
+  glue makes things easier for you? Videos demonstrating workflows are
+  helpful because it's sometimes hard to read source code or package
+  documentation and imagine how things work.
+- **Emacs configuration techniques, Emacs Lisp**
+- **Coding:** Lots of people use Emacs to work with code. Do you have a good setup? Please share!
+- **Academia:** Students, teachers, and researchers use Emacs too. 
+- **Other kinds of work**
+- **Personal information management, personal finance, productivity**
+- **Personal life, unexpected uses of Emacs**
+- **Fun, games, multimedia**
+- **Cool ideas from other editors and tools**
+
+You can also check out past EmacsConf programs to see what kinds of things people have shared before:
