No. You couldn't.
Conference talks are not "peer reviewed" (most of those thousands of LENR "scientific papers" are just conference reports).
Presentations at national conferences are meant to encourage discussion, debate with the author, helps one sort the wheat from the chaff and look up their publications, etc etc. You are correct, they aren't scientific papers, and it can be great fun watching the folks interact.

Yes...when the USGS shows off the results of their resource work, it is hyping proprietary technology of...studying stuff. When the EIA explain the inner workings of their resource models, they are hyping...how models not hyping anything work. When academics get up and present peak oil based reports (Hall and Hughes were both at GSA in October) they were..HYPING...peak oil stuff? Rock eval is not a corporate technology, lab results on the geochem work of source rock origin of oils isn't proprietary when you announce them to the world.
Sure the consultants are there as well, and they also present the results of various amounts of work and study they've done.

A word about commercialism
URTeC has a stated policy against use of commercial trade names, company names, or language that is commercial in tone in the paper title, text or slides. Use of such terms will result in careful scrutiny by the Program Committee in evaluating abstracts, and the presence of commercialism in the paper may result in it being withdrawn from the conference program.
Amazing thing...they specifically forbid the very thing you appear to be claiming they do. You base your opinion on attending how many SPE/AAPG/SEG national conferences? Across how many decades? And hopefully more than just this century, right?
