Do you have any suppliers that exhibit at the show? If so ask if they
have any
"guest passes" available. Or you might become a "temporary employee" of
the exhibitor and get a pass that way. You pretty much have to know
somebody
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 worry about it. I've walked into shows with three or four passes from
different companies.

Yes, I also got press passes, but the other freebies usually are not hard to
get.
