Hi Angliholic,
In this context, "thrown out" means he was physcially escorted out of the conference by the security. Kicked out is essentially the same as "thrown out". There is a physical or violent connotation with both usages in this context. i.e. The driver was thrown out of his car after colliding with another car from the on-coming traffic.
