Actually it is not.  I assume by "the converse is obviously true"
you mean to imply that Uniforum lets Usenix registrants into its
technical sessions and tutorials for free which they do not do.
They only let them into the trade show.  Usenix has no trade show to
let anybody into for free.

Each January Usenix and Uniforum purposely hold their conference
in the same city during the same week in January so they can "share"
the trade show.  Their summer conferences are different places at
different times so then Usenix has their own (smaller) trade show.
