"Twitter shaming" is something that you should absolutely only do in situations where you are dealing with a public figure who you are unable to approach. I'm not sure that I would go quite that far. It certainly shouldn't be the first response to bad behavior, but I can see it as a viable approach when other social methods have failed and there's no official recourse. For example, if you asked people politely to stop and they laughed at you, I could imagine using "name and shame" as a backup plan. That certainly doesn't apply in this case, though, because there is official recourse; you can report them to the conference organizers for violating the code of conduct. And if a report for violating the code of conduct doesn't work, it's the conference organizers who deserve the biggest criticism for failing to enforce it, not the people you reported.
