Okay, as I thought (and wow, this is a useful brief):

Cons are public accommodations under the ADA because, though they may be privately run, they are leasing space from places of public accommodation. At least, I'm assuming you're holding this at a hotel, convention center, or similar? Basically the only way you get out of it is hosting it at a private club or in someone's home, but since this is open to the public, I still think it might fall under the ADA even in that unlikely circumstance.

Note: I am probably not a licensed lawyer in your state, but I did take disability discrimination law in law school! :D
