EmacsConf 2020 was 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.

Please note that the times on this schedule were a rough approximation. A number of talks were presented pre-recorded to reduce technical risks, usually followed by live Q&A over web conference, collaborative pad (https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/emacsconf-2020) or the IRC backchannel (=#emacsconf= on =chat.freenode.net=).

All the times below were given in EST.
