You have to add \expanded, i.e. \expanded{\speakers{...}}.

When you replace \getparameters with \setvariables you can set a command
which is applied each time when you set new values.


\defineregister[speakers]

\setupregister
   [speakers]
   [style=sansbold,
    n=2]

\startbuffer[pagetalk]
   \doflushatpar
     {\expanded{\speakers{\getvariable{talk}{speakername}}}%
      \expanded{\pagereference[talk:\getvariable{talk}{speakername}]}}%
   \starttabulate[|f{\bi}l|p|]
   \NC Speaker \EQ \getvariable{talk}{speakername} \NC\NR
   \NC Title   \EQ \getvariable{talk}{title}       \NC\NR
   \NC Time    \EQ \getvariable{talk}{time}        \NC\NR
   \NC Room    \EQ \getvariable{talk}{room}        \NC\NR
   \HL
   \stoptabulate
\stopbuffer

\setvariable{talk}{set}{\getbuffer[pagetalk]}

\showframe[text][text]

\starttext

\setvariables
   [talk]
   [speakername={Gauss},
    title={Remarks on Number Theory},
    time={10:30},
    room={A}]

The talk about Gauss was on \at{page}[talk:Gauss].

\completeregister[speakers]

\stoptext
