DD this is how I see it what happened

Scenario 1
1. We know that the conference presentation was never meant to be held prior to TLD + Publication so during the quiet time.
=> Bosch must have been receiving many emails from the conference months prior and right up till the conference. So the conference and his responsibility for his attendance must have been on his mind all that time. Therefore if he knew weeks before the start of the conference that TLD + Publication would take a long time he would have canceled weeks before.

2. On Monday, January 10 MB was made aware by either email or a phone call from the event manager that his time of appearance had been shifted for Jan 20 from 11..40 to 12.10.

Please contact your Event Manager or Program Director for more information. Please note that all times and dates are subject to changes, so please be aware of any updates that may be communicated from your Program Director

=> So if MB already knew on Monday 10th that he could not attend he would have canceled that same day as he was made aware of the rescheduling.

3. On Thursday, Jan 13th MB canceled.

What is the deadline to provide for my presentation All presentations are required a week before the meeting. Reminders and deadlines will be sent to you by email by your Event Manager and Program Director

So he canceled last minute which is confirmed by an email I received from the conference:

In response to your enquiry, I’m sorry to confirm but Marnix Bosch will no longer be presenting at this year’s event. I apologise, he has had to drop out last minute. Kind regards, Kiran Thomson

=> Since its clear they waited at the last minute to cancel and this is in relation to pending TLD + publication in my view they anticipated TLD even as far as 1 or 2 days before the deadline on 13th. As I said if not why not cancel on Monday 10th when MB was made aware of the timetable reschedule or weeks before that when receiving emails about the upcoming conference...

If they expected TLD + publication just before the deadline 13th then in my view TLD + publication will not take long anymore.

Scenario 2
4. Alternative explanation
MB knew (many) weeks before the conference started he would not be able to make it for he knew a lot of work still needed to be done for the publication. He just could not care less about the problems he would cause for the conference organization canceling last minute, even though he was made aware of his pending presence by different emails over a long period of time until right up the deadline 13th, and thus he canceled last minute when the conference called him to ask him to asap submit his presentation. I do not believe that to be true at all.
