What if you did something with DNS service discovery and setup dns records
for appletv? We did this for airprint and doing a few quick google
searches it looks like it may be possible with apple tv.

I voiced that solution and was shot down.
If I do a separate SSID, on the same VLAN as the Apple TV, I'd still have to
turn Multicast on on the controller, but I wouldn't have to
roll out a PIM-SM deployment.

Mike,
For a one off and minimal investment, I would bring up an Open-WRT or
DDRT AP (or any affordable AP that is capable of doing
WPA2-enterprise) independent from your regular infrastructure and make
people join a dedicated subnet for that room (use
NAT, and WPA2-enterprise).
Connect the Apple TV to the wired port of the AP and broadcast a
dedicated SSID.
With WPA2-enterprise joining your RADIUS server you can make it secure.
It is a "dirty" solution, electromagnetically speaking, but quick.
If the conference room has too may users for one AP, create a dedicated
SSID just for that conference
room on your existing infrastructure and terminate the VLAN of that SSID
on the same VLAN as the AppleTV
