Howdy Megan,
It would seem that you should qualify under bullet #4 on their policy page. In general, response to bloggers looking to gain entry at trade events is a pretty mixed bag. Some organizers welcome the opportunity for any and all publicity while others fear the possibility of bad press. Still others don't really understand the whole blogging thing and just suspect that we're looking for a free ride (and free drinks).

One thing's for sure. It can't hurt to try.
