Where do you live? Are you a speaker? Is the conference paying your expenses? How long is your visit. You need to show purpose of visit, ties to home country, funds.

The conference has a step by step guide to apply for a TRV so follow their instructions.

Okay.. Then do you what you want to do. Where do you live? Depending where you live then you may not get visa in time.

I would follow the conference directions as they tell you what to do. It is not a business meeting.

85 days is an estimated average. Could be shorter but also longer so I would not delay applying.
