Online conference paper with a URL and no DOI
Note: The only online example IEEE provides for a conference paper with URL is one that is for an unpublished paper presented at a conference.

If you are unsure, check with your lecturer.
If you are citing a paper from a published proceedings, then remove the "presented at" and include the Conference title. In many cases you will find the conference proceeding in one of our full-text databases which will provide a DOI.
