On Thursday right before my flight to the conference, the first author informed me that his visa was rejected and prefers to give the paper talk by playing his pre-recorded video instead of having another coauthor present on his behalf.
We had not received any materials (talk video and poster) on Sunday evening, and it was decided that I would stand in for the fast-forward 10 minutes before the session started.
28 minutes before the start of the paper session on Monday morning we finally received the video. While I was on stage playing the video another co-author brought back the printed poster, right on time for the poster session at the end.
