it is clear to me that there is a definite lack of policies and procedures in place for sexual harassment at conferences and events.
FWIW, O'Reilly has had a policy - http://conferences.oreillynet.com/code-of-conduct.csp - for a while now. RailsConf also has one and I saw discussion about another Ruby event's policy recently on HN too (where people were saying 'is this really needed!?'.. answer is yes).
