The acceptance of your manuscript is conditional subject to your registration to attend the conference. Your registration confirms to the conference organisers that you will be presenting your work at the conference, and without your registration, we will presume that you are no longer able to present. If you do not register for the Conference before the deadline, your presentation (oral / poster) will be automatically removed from the final program. If the deadline is problematic for you for whatever reason, then please contact the Organizer in order to explain your situation, so that we can retain your manuscript in the program.

Subject to restrictions being in place regarding presenters giving multiple presentations, it should be acceptable for your co-author or colleague to present your work for you. However, it is essential that you inform the Organizers of the name of the new presenting author before the deadline of the Registration for the Conference, as your failure to register by the deadline will mean that your manuscript is removed from the program.
