EmacsConf 2023 will also be an online conference, ensuring that you can be part of the experience even if you can't make it to Lucerne.

Public and private emails can be sent to emacsconf-org@gnu.org and emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org, respectively.

To engage in real-time discussions, the #emacsconf channel on irc.libera.chat is the go-to place. You can join the chat using your favorite IRC client or by visiting chat.emacsconf.org in your web browser.
