EmacsConf 2020 will be on November 28 (Sat) and November 29 (Sun), 2020 from 9am-5pm Toronto/EST time; equivalently, 6am-2pm PST, 2pm-10pm UTC, 3pm-11pm Zurich/CET. Instructions on how to watch/participate will be posted at <https://emacsconf.org/2020> closer to the day of the virtual conference.

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 talks presented live, but some may be presented prerecorded to reduce technical risks. Further, the speakers will try to be available on the collaborative pad (link to be announced) and the IRC backchannel, #emacsconf on chat.freenode.net, to answer questions. If there’s not enough time in the day for all the talks that are available, we will play any remaining prerecorded talks over the lunch break or 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.

All the times below are given in EST time. You can check out the individual talk pages for times in a few different timezones.
