I missed the pink lanyard bit. That does tip it into demeaning territory. Like girls/ladies/women need to be highlighted any more at a tech conference.

The intent is so that men can't use the tickets. Sure, they could have used a different colour, but they needed to differentiate those tickets.

Using a generic ticket for every woman is more simple than assigning a name to each ticket... so no.
