As a retired librarian, the first place I search for such academic
papers or books is OCLC WorldCat:
http://www.worldcat.org/advancedsearch
I searched for the conference proceedings title, and there were more
than 20 U.S. libraries that held it. You should be able to get a copy
via interlibrary loan at your local public library (or university
library, if you are a student or staff).
Hope this helps!

P.S. Just because a library owns a book doesn't automatically mean
that they will loan it out via interlibrary loan. Your local library
will cycle through a list of holding libraries until they encounter one
who will loan it. If no loaning libraries can be found or if you want
only a selected article (such as you do), I recommend that you request
your local library to get the article via interlibrary loan. (You will
need the full citation, such as you have above.) That works, too!
