[ECCV 2026] Meaning of "Authorized Delegate" & Registration Advice [D]

Hi everyone,Our paper was recently provisionally accepted to ECCV 2026! However, our team is facing an issue regarding attendance and the ECCV 2026 Submission Policies. The official guidelines state: "We expect each paper to be presented in person by an author (or an authorized delegate)."None of the listed co-authors can travel to present the paper in-person due to pending immigration status (USA).

I need some advice on what exactly counts as an authorized delegate and how to handle this safely without getting our paper pulled from the Springer proceedings.Who qualifies? Can it be anyone, a colleague from my lab who is already going to ECCV, or does it have to be someone specifically registered under our paper's ID?

Registration policy: According to the ECCV 2026 Registration Info, every paper must be covered by a full (non-student, non-virtual) author registration by July 17, 2026. If we pay for the full author registration but a "delegate" presents it, does that delegate also need their own separate registration?

How to notify: What is the formal process to authorize a delegate? Do we need to email the Program Chairs in advance?

If anyone has designated a delegate for ECCV or similar computer vision conferences (CVPR/ICCV) in the past, how did you handle it?

TL;DR: No authors can attend ECCV 2026 in-person. Need to know how to legally assign an "authorized delegate" to present our paper so it doesn't get removed from the proceedings.
