What matters is to let organizers know that you are willing to present something. Also, if you are willing to attend but not willing to submit an abstract by the end of this week (because you are still waiting for funding or administrative approval), would you be kind enough to create a user account on the conference's website ? https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015%20/user/register This will allow organizers to know how many participants might attend.
