mdb:DEMA is now just travel, training and trinkets. You can get in, along with lots of other, "professionals", no problem.
You know.. I've heard several other people who've been tell me the same thing. The show isn't what it used to be. (with that said, I've never been and see no real reason to spend lots of $$$ to go. I'd rather go diving).
however, If DEMA wants to say "Professionals only". Then why do they advertise with a banner ad on Scubaboard to "consumer divers"?
Here is the AD they are running on SB as a Banner.

I could care less, but kinda stupid.
