Ahh...I get it, just sign up for the "visitor" pass or whatever they call it. You need no credentials or anything for that badge...
My comment about a press/analyst type pass was intended to me if you can find a way to make that work, go for it!
A press level pass gets you into a lot more things and often exhibitors will spend more time and show more stuff to people wearing a press/analyst badge. Though it is not that there is not already enough to keep a person busy for a week or more!
BTW, the exhibitors do pay attention to the type of badge a person is wearing...to the point some will lean in to read more details in order to decide if a person is worth the effort...a bad idea in my opinion but then again their time is limited and a whole show has to be just exhausting so I never could blame them for it...I always made sure to tell them up front my company was small and what not, so they did not try too hard.
While exhibitors are looking to sell pallets of devices not a single reader or device, most of the time exhibitors will run a "show only special" to get the product in as many early adopter hands as possible...so ask if you see a device you like.
I know CES is actually shrinking and might have read somewhere this is the final year of CES? I would need to look around for that rumor (or "fact"
)
