I thought about that, then I got to thinking about audio bleed and/or 
people hard of hearing (particularly if no audio loop is available in 
the common areas, which is as I understand fairly typical at venues - 
they concentrate on the hall itself) which then got me to wondering 
about how to get audio into headsets which brought me back to 'just 
stream the thing and let attendees who can't get in due to overcrowding 
or mobility issues sort out the client side issues for themselves and 
encourage people in lectures to not be jerks' ;)
