I think you meant

(org-babel-tangle-file "/Users/andrea/Documents/pycon/miniconf.org")

here

Although Org maps "elisp" to emacs-lisp-mode in org-src-lang-modes
(therefore C-c ' works), Org-babel currently does not recognise "elisp"
by default. Thanks for raising this, I think we need to make ourselves
more compatible with org-src-lang-modes.

So the short answer is: change "elisp" to "emacs-lisp".

The longer answer is, you could do

(org-babel-add-interpreter "elisp")
(add-to-list 'org-babel-tangle-langs '("elisp" "el"))

But you (we) 'll still be faced with the problem that org-babel-load-file
expects the blocks to be "emacs-lisp" blocks. org-babel-tangle-file, on
the other hand, will work.

Does that get things working?
