Hi Tom,
Do you have a little more background? Are you talking about recordings of presentations by third parties, by the organisers, or by the presenter? How would conferences implement a ban on recording? Why do presenters not want to allow photos of their slides? Is it a security or confidentiality thing, or something else? I am not a lawyer, but copyright law that applies by default would probably allow the reproduction of a photo of a slide, especially if it's for academic purposes. Creative Commons licenses are mostly designed to be *more* permissive than would otherwise be the case.
