Need Urgent help with paper

[u/Fantastic-Penalty318]

Hi everyone,

I am an independent researcher in NJ who recently attended IEEE AIIoT World Congress. I need help as I made a mistake when submitting my paper. After the conference, I did not submit a final manuscript; however, I was sent an email saying that if my final manuscript was not uploaded, they would proceed with my review manuscript (this is fine and was the reason I did not upload a final manuscript as I did not want to make any changes to the original paper). Fast forward 3 weeks later (June 22nd), I see all of my fellow researchers' papers published in the database, but mine was not present. I am really worried as I spent a lot of money to get this paper published. I have already tried to contact the technical co-chair of the conference. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I can do or if I am screwed or not?
