Problem with visas for conference participants coming to CH

For a conference, at which I was invited to speak, there were supposed to be 90 participants, all carefully selected from among people nominated to attend it (the conference is not advertised).

However, some 30 of them were denied visas, including one speaker!

Are the criteria for granting visas now too strict?  Or did all 30 of them make mistakes in their applications (and if so is it now too easy to make some mistake or the other in the application form)? 

Sadly, it is not easy to find out, as the entire procedure and criteria for granting visas to the Schengen area has apparently become so secretive.
