MH454,
You can register and there's no reason in the world you can't register under your companies name. Just be sure to put "machinist" or "operator" on your badge.
Here are my tips for getting the most out of the show, I've been involved in machine shows for 25 years and have been to nearly every one here and quite a few abroad inclusding JIMTOF and EMO.
1) Make a plan. Start working on it now. Your goal should be to leave the show smarter than when you got there. Don't be one of those clueless types that goes just to drink beer, ogle the booth babes, and get all moist in the Haas booth looking at 30 different versions of what they already have and know. Spend a couple of days if you can. Don't get me wrong, go out at night and have fun. You're young enough where you actually stand a chance of a booth babe telling you which nightclub she'll be at that night. But while the show is open attend and make the most of it.
2) Network. If you want to make a career in manufacturing it sure doesn't hurt to meet people and shake some hands. Strike up conversations. When you have lunch, don't go off and sit alone. Look for a crowded table with an open chair, ask if you can join them, introduce yourself and make conversation. Ask people what they do, what they make, how they make it, etc... Ask them what the coolest thing they saw so far was and why. Trust me, you'll learn something and maybe even meet your next employer. Tell them you took vacation time and are there on your own dime. That might get you an offer then and there.
3) Make a list of stuff you don't know. Do you know what thread whirling is? Polygon cutting? Thread rolling? Ever see an industrial laser? Do you know what a water jet is and how it works? What do you know about zero emmission vapor degreasing? How about a Swiss type CNC? Have you ever seen a gear hobber? how about a 5-axis cutter grinder? Have you ever seen an octohedral hexagon CNC mill? Make a list and learn a little bit about them all.
4) If you want to have a future in this trade you will need to know software. Schedule some demos, show up on time and drink it in.
5) Be respectful of peoples time. Some companies spend well north of a million dollars to be in the show. Their primary goal is to sell machines. Be upfront and ask if they have a few minutes to explain their machine and offer to get out of the way when a real customer shows up. Smart guys will spend time with you, but there are plenty of jerks out there too. Remember them and don't do business with them when you get into a position where you are the guy with the checkbook. It's the ultimate payback. Ignore the jerks and soak up whatever you can from the smart guys.
