For those that do not register or don’t want to register but want to go anyway can do so either as a tourist or under a business visa with an invite from a company in China. If you go for the business visa without the registration you’d need an invite from a company in China. Some attendants go with existing vendors who get the tickets for them. In this case, they can supply the invite for you.
If you don’t have an invite and don’t want to register you can still apply for a tourist visa and follow the tourist requirements. Here is a link with the requirements and processing for the tourist visa:
