No, the question is whether she had a right to complain after the fact - and she did, as a matter of policy. If you don't like a conference's code if conduct, don't go to the conference. Simple.

Well, these are different questions which matter to you. One is a big question of whether we should be concerned about rising censoriousness as a society and the other is about corporate rights to impose their own values on employees/attendees.

It is generally accepted that corporations have broad rights to set standards of appropriate behaviour relating to issues of sexual harassment in the workplace. Conference codes of conduct are more novel, at least in my profession, but there seems to be consensus there too.

I am less interested in what is generally accepted than whether it is right that this is generally accepted. Consensuses on what is acceptable vary hugely from place to place and from time to time. We need to look at specifics and argue from basic liberal (for me) principles.
