to get a freebie to a trade show but it's not all that hard.

That's about what I figured... Might have to look at the list of those
exibiting and make some strategic e-mail time.

What I'd really hate to do though is receifve a free pass and then not use
it when someone else could have used it...

Don't hesitate to contact them, in some of the trade shows in my
industry, the vendors have virtually unlimited passes, I've even been
told they could e-mail the PDF to me and it would get me in. These are
trade shows associated with a professional conference and may not apply
to all shows, but worth a try.
