Magazine of the Week

Here is this week’s Magazine of the Week!

We subscribed to Exhibitor at the request of the FIT Visual Presentation and Exhibition Design major. This trade publication supports the business of trade show design, event logistics, preparation, and display. It is published 12x a year, in Rochester, Minnesota by the Exhibitor Media Group. Their mission statement is “to provide exhibit- and event-marketing professionals with the tools and education to produce high-performance programs with measurable results.” The organization also offers workshops and e-classes on related topics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While many articles (and ads) focus on design ideas for vendor displays, the rest of the content, augmented by a detailed web presence, offers extensive how-to on the business side of creating, moving, and setting up trade show displays. Not surprisingly, the magazine and the accompanying website are full of spiffy graphics and engaging visuals.

 

 

 

 

 

The organization that produces this magazine and its sister website also gives an array of annual awards series, each focused on a different aspect of trade show design and operation:

The Sizzle Awards
The All-Star Awards
Exhibit Design Awards
Portable/Modular Awards
Corporate Event Awards

The publishers are quite conscious of their own award-winnings, for excellence in a trade publication:
