Let's see:

1) You attended a b&g after checking with the host

2) You attempted to attend a q&a with the purpose of providing
additional input for the ops community and that provided support for a
speaker.

Is there a better way to have handled the situation?  Perhaps.

The positive outcome of this issue is that we are discussing how to
handle "drop-ins" (freebie conference attenders?).  I still don't see
that you fall into this category with regard to this incident.
