+#### E-mail for speakers who are planning to be at the conference
+
+Hello, ${speakers-short}!
+
+We&rsquo;re looking forward to having you join us at EmacsConf!
+
+We&rsquo;ve updated the schedule based on the submissions and cancellations,
+and we&rsquo;ll probably update the schedule even on the day of the
+conference. You can get a rough idea of your schedule at the talk
+pages with the URL${plural} below. You might want to check your talk
+page${plural} some time next week to get a rough sense of where it is,
+and then check it again on the day of your talk${plural}. Please let
+me know if the times don&rsquo;t work for you.
+
+We&rsquo;ll try our best to keep your talk in the same general timeslot (ex:
+Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning, Sunday
+afternoon). We&rsquo;ve done some dry-runs, but just in case it turns out
+that running two tracks at the same time leaves us too frazzled, we
+may drop back to one track with Q&A on an alternate stream, like last
+year. If there are big changes to your schedule on the day of your
+talk${plural}, you&rsquo;ll get an e-mail from us with a subject like
+&ldquo;URGENT: EmacsConf 2022: &#x2026;&rdquo;.${wrap}
+
+Here&rsquo;s your checkin info:
+
+${checkin-info}
+
+Please check in early so that we can deal with scheduling changes or
+technical issues. You can find the check-in process at
+${base-url}${year}/speakers/ .${waiting}
+
+If something comes up, please let us know as soon as you can. Here&rsquo;s
+my emergency contact information: ${emergency}
+
+Thank you for sharing your time and energy with the EmacsConf community!
+
+Sacha
+
+p.s. If you need to cancel, that&rsquo;s okay too, life happens. Let me know
+as soon as you can and I&rsquo;ll try to shuffle things around. Thank you!

+
+Hello, ${name}!
+
+Thank you so much for contributing a talk for EmacsConf ${year}! We&rsquo;re
+looking forward to collecting questions and forwarding them to you by
+e-mail after the conference. We&rsquo;ll also post the prerecording at the
+time that it gets streamed, so people will be able to access it at
+${url} once it has gone live.
+
+If it turns out that you can make it to the conference after all, feel
+free to drop us a line at #emacsconf-org and we&rsquo;ll let people know
+you&rsquo;re around. You can find the check-in process at
+<https://emacsconf.org/${year}/speakers/> .
