Consumer Electronic Show ?

Gosh, I sure hope someone doesn't go to Kinko's or Office Max and purchase "blank," Avery business cards and print them up as "A+ Audio" or something and be able to get into high end CES exhibits.

That would be terrible!

Imagine audiophiles that love music, going from room to room, visiting designers and hearing music ! Please folks, don't do it!

The Avery business card form is number #8376. Be SURE to not print your real name on the "A+ Audio" business card, otherwise your photo ID (Drivers license) will match.

Guess we won't see you there. Security is SOooooo tight.

By the way, year before last the Microsoft Corp. software engineers were so plentiful around the Clear Audio turntable's in the Musical Surroundings room, no one could get in. I'll bet they were looking for analog to stock their "Audio Store," right?

Nice reply Albert. It only requires a little creativity to obtain a CES badge...very little.

I attended one year with help from a friendly vendor.
The weather was miserable and, silly me, I just didn't want to intrude into places where people spent lots of moolah so they could conduct their busines without a lot of distractions.

I went next door to the San Tropez where T.H.E. Show was in full swing (they actually welcome the public -to the point of giving you free food!).
Great high-end AND no guilt!

It's nice to feel welcomed.

I have attended two CES shows, and I never registered nor had to show ID. If you go to the main convention center, it is my understanding that you must have full credentials to attend. If you go to Alexis Park or The Show next door, you will be able to look and hear at your pleasure. By the way, The last two venues have all of equipment that we discuss here everyday.

Yes but the last two venues are likely to have seen their last CES. The exhibits that were at the Alexis Park have been moved to the Venetian where security is likely to be comparable to that at the convention center. (The AP is no more thanks to George Clooney.) In view of that, I do not know where T.H.E. Show will be since proximity to the AP is no longer of value. (Their website says it will be at the San Tropez but ??).

Still, I'd bet you can get in with a little fakery. ;-)
