I disagree.  There's a comment thread [1] on geekfeminism.org where a
number of folks, including one person who is a fairly well-known
speaker at library and archives conferences -- and indeed, somebody
who I could very easily see on lists of potential keynoters -- relate
incidents as to why they prefer not to be photographed.  I think it's
sufficient basis for us to be prepared to extend flexibility in the
speaker's agreement.
