Why not just reject a speaker if you think it will hurt ticket sales? You don't have a duty to stand up for free speech, or whatever. You host a conference, you protect your brand, and if people don't like it they can start their own.

This is the same principle that restaurants probably shouldn't reject homosexual people even if it may hurt sales.
