That's alright.  (I bet most of us speak English too.)

Because Ada is in the name of conference, I assume it's always Ada we're
talking about that when I read the paragraph below.  (So, thanks for
clarifying.)

AEiC is a leading international forum for providers, practitioners,
and researchers in reliable software technologies.  The conference
presentations will illustrate current work in the theory and practice
of the design, development, and maintenance of long-lived, high-quality
software systems for a challenging variety of application domains.
The program will also include keynotes, Q&A and discussion sessions,
and social events.  Participants include practitioners and researchers
from industry, academia, and government organizations active in the
development of reliable software technologies.

I applaude that!  Programming seems to be a field that it's very hard to
educate oneself.  For instance, I never gave myself an introduction to
Ada.  Like most of everyone I assumed it was some relic.  I just visited

  https://ada-lang.io/

for the first time and I was happy to see the website.  

But not all is blues in my life.  Not too late in my life I found Lisp
and I was very surprised to realize how interesting it is and how
ignored it is by the vast percentage of programmers.

I would be so happy to be able to submit a contribution to AEiC, but it
would be much more likely that I would do it for a Lisp conference. :-)
