The 24 H professional visa is for short business trips. The visa usually
allows for stays of up to 30 days for applicants who wish to enter Argentina
with the intent to do business or attend any conferences or congresses. Along
with your application, be sure to bring the following documents when you

Why is the “be careful what you ask for” alarm going off in my head.

Are there any immigrations forms into/out-of argentina where you'd
have to mark "purpose of visit" (business/tourist) ?
I don't remember, but I made no secret of the fact that I was going to
the various meetings.
There are no more immigration forms. Just the customs form.
As an advise, do not refer to business in any situation because in
Latin America, it will mean comercial business.
Attending a conference is not considered business.

I paid the reciprocity fee online about two hours before my flight; I
completely missed I had to do this and United kindly wouldn’t let me check-in
online so I was tipped off. Being from the US, it was $160 and good for 10
years; I always chalk this up to payback for fees the US charges the rest of
the world.
The last, which was the first time, I was in Argentina when asked the purpose
of my visit I said “ICANN like the 10 people before and the 20 people after
me". The officer smiled and said “Welcome to Argentina” - never even asked to
see the receipt for the reciprocity fee. A big non-event.
