Depends where the conference is. I recently got asked to present someone else's work (a project on which I was more or less a consultant) at a conference that the main author couldn't attend due to scheduling conflict. I declined. Because it was in New Haven, CT. If it were in the Caribbean, or maybe even CA or FL, I would've gone in a heartbeat. But New Haven? Fuck that all to hell.
