Assuming the conference organisers allow luatex at all (combining articles to make a combined journal proceedings is more complicated if different papers require different engines) The simplest workaround is to add
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} after the documentclass line and use the same legacy fonts as in pdftex. The class uses the times package (which is deprecated even for pdflatex and doesn't really make a lot of sense for luatex at all, but if that's the font they want, that will make it available in luatex. A better fix (if the organisers allow it) would be to use opentype Times clones, such as adding \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmainfont{TeX Gyre Termes} \setmathfont{Stix Two Math} instead of the fontenc line.
