Question

Could you please tell me the difference in nuance between the two sentences?
1. I can give it to Jane if she will be at the meeting. 
2. I can give it to Jane if she is at the meeting.

Could you please tell me the difference in nuance between the above two sentences?

Answer

I really don't think that there is any significant difference between the sentences.  I would use both but mostly the second would be a bit more casual and implies that the action is in the future.

Answer

Effectively the same but the second one is more colloquial
