Linguistics
Conference application form
The terms are used in a linguistic conference application form. The reason I find them hard to translate is the peculiarity of the Russian scientific conferences, that lies in the fact that attendees can actually not come the conference but submit their articles instead which later will be published as conference proceedings. Can these participants be referred to as "remote" ones? What about the "очные участники"? Full-time?

conference participation in person or in absentia
The phrase "in person or in absentia" is most often used with regard to graduation ceremonies, but it's also fine for conferences.

You may refer to the participants in various ways:
"participants attending in person"
"participants in absentia"
Note that "in absentia" is particularly relevant for your case of those who participate solely by submitting papers. It's not used for people who participate, for example, through video-conferencing. For the latter, you'd say something like "those attending in person or via webcast [via satellite connection; via Skype - whatever the type of connection is]".
