Its the venues responsibility to purchase the license. Most bars comply and since most cover bands play at bars, theyre covered. A private party at someones home is another story.

No. The venue takes the responsibility for obtaining a license. http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/BIZ-WIKI/Licensing-&-Royalties/Public-Performance-Royalties-and-Licenses.html Technically its up the venue but it doesnt always happen. If a DJ does a private party at someones home, or a wedding at somewhere other than a hotel, or a dance at a school, more often than not the license falls by the wayside.

Do you have to pay both ASCAP and BMI?
To publicly perform music, either live or recorded, you need permission from the copyright holder. The easiest way to do this is to get a blanket license from the performing rights organizations, one of which is ASCAP. As a composer or songwriter, there's no requirement to join a performing rights organization, but it's considerably easier than trying to handle all the royalty paperwork yourself--if you had a hit on your hands, would you really want to have to license every radio station, restaurant, and roller rink in the country? ASCAP in particular also has support and education programs for new artists, which many find invaluable for networking.

If the site hosting the conference has a blanket license with the applicable performing rights organization (likely if it's a hotel or banquet facility, unlikely if it's a university), you may not need an additional license just to play a recording locally. If you need a license yourself, you would need to contact ASCAP to simply play a commercial recording locally, or Sony/ATV in Nashville for other uses (making an arrangement, recording it, etc.).
