The gym where I train considers me as a member. Whether it is correct or not they talk about the members of their gym.
As a member of the gym, from time to time, I talk to the manager to make some improvements. For example, I suggest buying state of the art machines.
A member of the gym is correct.

The only thing "wrong" with participant of the conference (I would use participant in the conference, in the same way that someone is in a meeting) is that the conference, in a metaphysical sense, doesn't exist independant of the participants.

I could say participants in the conference will attend the banquet.
Some conferences take place annually.
I have participated in those conferences.
However, you touched on the permanent nature of conferences.

Prepositions are funny things.
I would still prefer "Conference participants will attend the banquet." Why use extra words when you don't have to. But if you really wanted to use your structure then I'd probably use "of" or perhaps "at" but not "in."
Note that IBm extends and invitation TO you, not FOR you. (And it's a 5-star hotel.)

The word participant is a noun.
Members, boys, girls, directors, teachers, etc are nouns too.
You are free to use members of the gym, boys of our school, girls of our school, teachers of English etc.
I know a participant is ephemeral. After the conference you are no longer a participant.
