A conference is a private event. Generally speaking, the organizers have as much legal right to eject someone from a conference as you do to kick someone out of your house. If you are a conference organizer, it's your party, you can invite - or kick out - anyone you like.
Hm, I feel like I wrote this before. Oh, that's because I did!

Having taken time to actually read this link I am now confused. Is this the policy referenced in TFA? It seems like it would be better described as an Anti-Harassment HOWTO for conference organizers, a thing which clearly would be beneficial and not at all harmful. Describing it as a "policy" and referencing the Ubuntu code of conduct suggests that this is some kind of affidavit that each attendee would have to agree to live by, which sounds draconian and unreasonable.

No, the one in TFA is: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harass...
You're right that the one she linked in the comments is just an explanation of anti-harassment policies and issues surrounding them.
