EXHIBITOR Magazine to Publish EDPA Annual Update and Member Directory to Commemorate EDPA's Legacy in the Trade Show and Experiential Industry

8/29/2024
The Experiential Designers and Producers Association and EXHIBITOR are once again partnering to publish the EDPA Annual Update and Member Directory, a special supplement in the December/January issue of EXHIBITOR magazine.

“EDPA is excited to once again partner with EXHIBITOR to honor the 70-year history of EDPA and its foundation," said Dasher Lowe, EDPA Executive Director. "We are proud of EDPA’s history and list of accomplishments, and want to share and celebrate with our members and the industry as a whole."

“This supplement tells the story of the EDPA and its continuing impact on the trade show and events industry,” said Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. “It's a celebration of the association's work that not only shines a spotlight on the incredible future talent in the industry, but also provides an overview of everything from the EDPA's regional chapters and charitable foundation to its annual events and advocacy on Capitol Hill.”

This special publication supports the EDPA in promoting its Member Directory, Chapter Events, The EDPA Foundation and Good Works, Future Workforce initiatives, and Exhibitor Advocacy. EDPA members can further support the association through special members-only advertising options. To participate or for more information, please reach out to Dana Baldwin at dbaldwin@exhibitorgroup.com.

EDPA represents more than 300 companies across 18 countries. EDPA has altered its name and transformed its offerings, but what hasn’t changed is its commitment to advancing the cause of face-to-face marketing.

Founded in 1954 by a progressive group of individuals within the exhibit and design industry who wanted to grow relationships and form new partnerships, EDPA mostly comprised entrepreneurial exhibit company owners. Many started out as carpenters or designers, and few had formal business training. Fortunately, the industry grew quickly, and so did these companies. Over the years, EDPA's service offerings have changed just as quickly as the industry has evolved.

Today, EDPA members combine marketing, design, and production leadership to help organizations create effective face-to-face customer experiences and environments for trade shows, events, corporate environments, museums, and more. EDPA’s mission remains focused on advancing the interests of its members. Each year, the association drives the industry forward through research, networking and education, advocacy, and good works.
