Unless things have changed (I have not attended in several years), anyone can attend T.H.E. Show. CES requires you to be "in the trade" but T.H.E. does not.
I agree with Dweller the last time I went to The Show all I needed was the admissions fee. CES is another thing. They require connection to the industry but like many things there are holes in the system.
