The issues with sexism are terrible indeed, organizers should be ashamed of allowing such things to happen. But the thing with hacking devices.. that's exactly what makes the security conferences so awesome. I've been wanting to go to a real security conference since I was 12 because of things like that. You say it scares away new users, I say it draws them in. Complaining about people breaking into your phone, what are you doing at a security conference anyway? Last time I checked the site of a security conference it had a detailed guide on how to prevent this from happening to you. It would be a terrible thing if the baby was thrown out with the bathwater.
