Indeed, however GDPR states: 

 Last but not least, consent must be unambiguous, which means it requires either a statement or a clear affirmative act. Consent cannot be implied and must always be given through an opt-in, a declaration or an active motion, so that there is no misunderstanding that the data subject has consented to the particular processing. 

People registered to IETF do that. « tourists » attending the side meeting do not.

I am not a lawyer, and may be I am mistaken… or may be GDPR does not apply? Don’t know.
