Using the name John Smith should be fine. I don't remember ever
being carded at a conference.
Using cash might be a hassle. What if they don't have a cash box?
BTW, the counter person at my local post office explained to me

cash, because it's cheaper for them to process. I find that really
hard to believe, but it's the story I'm getting.
