Oh! I thought of a much nearer, and hopefully less perilous, example.
Due to my problem, even if I wanted to attend Club Vivid this year (I'm not much of a dancer), I don't think I could, because the environment is the type that can provoke an episode. Now, the con can provide alternate viewing opportunities for the CV vids (they have); they can provide a quieter, cooler place to watch the vids away from the "club" (they have); they can make sure water is available to alleviate dehydration (they have). But that doesn't change the fact that CV is a warm, crowded interior space with lots of lights and noise, which is the kind of place that can make me fall down and then feel crappy for six to eight hours afterwards. They can't change that without changing the "club" atmosphere, since it's pretty much by definition a warm, crowded interior space with lots of light and noise. I don't think the concom wants to exclude me from CV (though maybe they saw my dancing and the thought crossed their mind), and I don't think it's wrong for people who want to dance in a club atmosphere to do so, even if I can't join in.
