I agree that banning them from attending the meeting would be unacceptable.

However, if the community finds their business practices sufficiently inappropriate, then I have no problem with the idea that the community can  encourage the board to prohibit them from exhibiting at the meeting.

The standards for participation (open to all) and exhibiting (businesses attempting to solicit relationships) have very different goals and requirements.
