What happens if one of the two registered speakers does not make it to the conference (due to personal reasons)? Will they receive a certificate of participation?

According to the conference regulations, certificates are issued only to those who present. In special circumstances, it might be worth asking the organizers if they allow the remote participation of one of the speakers - and if the previously registered person is able to accommodate this, it is worth taking advantage of such a solution.
