Add update_timer and set it to 3 seconds
Add function start_update_timer, called on text/date/timeChanged for input fields
Add function update_talk, called when update_timer expires
Set SubmitPolicy for mapper to Manual
Add function block_field_signals to prevent updating the DB when fields are autofilled
Refactor add_talk and add function create_presentation to reduce duplicate code
Add call to update_talk to closeEvent

Is there no way of just letting it save immediately but move to the next field when you tab?

Putting 3 second timers seems like a hack to me and works around the problem rather than fixing the underlying problem. Or am I misunderstanding this?

I just quickly tested this and when I hit tab to it still doesn't move the cursor to the next field. As far as I can tell all it's doing is delaying my changes for 3 seconds.

Sorry I'm -1 on this design. I feel it makes the UI more unintuitive by delaying user input by 3 seconds. Can you explain what problem are we solving here with this again?
