Does anybody know how to get into the CES technology convention as an average Joe Blow?

Posted on 01/07/2013 6:28:55 PM PST by FoxPro

I live in Las Vegas and I would love to get into the show.

I have been a member of Freerepublic.com since 2000.

I’m pretty sure it is open to the public on the last couple of days, I think Friday and Saturday. I went a few years ago for business, it is a huge spectacle.

You might start your own business and make yourself president, or VP of Sales.

The exhibit hall is no longer open to the public like it had been in previous years. You will need an ID from an employer in the communications industry.

They are cutting their own throat. Two regular guys in Berkley that sold a Volkswagen to finance their startup, and named it after a fruit..... Just sayin...

Innovation comes from individuals in that industry, more than any others.

Park near Swensen and Desert Inn. Walk in the back, via the loading docks.

Be careful, there are security with dogs all over; but they are not looking for badgeless wanderers.

Have fun.

Can somebody sneak me in?

Do you know of anybody I can bribe?

How about sexual favors?

I am not that attractive, but I have been told that I am energetic and creative.

If you buy your electronic products from a local authorized dealer, and are a good customer, you can ask them if they, or any of their manufacturers, can send you a free floor registration voucher.
(Most dealers have a large list of preferred customers who they think would attend/enjoy the show, and have already offered them their own limited allotment of free tickets)

If you don't have a good relationship with a local dealer, you can sign up online and pay the current entry/attendance price for the tradeshow.

No, I don't have free tickets for you.

Thank you very much. I can do that. It sounds like an adventure. I will try this.

Post your Booking Number as soon as possible and ask FR’s to contribute to your bail money. Be careful of “Bubba” while waiting. :>)

So I'm guessing you think you are special, and somehow entitled to sneak into an expensive tradeshow venue just because you want not to pay money for tickets to it?

That explains why you were not offered a pass from a local vendor.

?...just Zot yourself, and go to some other website.

Quite frankly, I would pay $500 to get in. It isent about the money.

Yeah, but they may ask if you are willing to switch teams, so to speak.........

Go on the last day and buy a badge from someone that’s leaving for the airport.

Hang out near the convention during the night and hit the bars - ask people there the best way to get into the show - maybe you can piggy-back with someone - a vendor or attendant. Vendors usually have badges kicking around that go unused at these types of venues.

those guys were no where near Berkeley. In fact they were down the Peninsula busy stealing parts out the back door from HP....
