And even if you do have a technical background, a lot of the stands are specialised enough that you'd have to be pretty hard core to be interested in them as an amateur. I can enjoy a discussion about turbine blades, and like to delude myself that the people on the stands might even enjoy telling me about them. But aviation finance? Corporate jet logistics? Stands with nothing on them other than the (unfamiliar) name of the company. If you needed to be there, you already would have been.
