Travis Stanton Promoted to Editor in Chief of EXHIBITOR Magazine

7/11/2022
EXHIBITOR magazine, the award-winning leader in trade show and corporate event marketing education, is excited to announce the promotion of Travis Stanton to the position of Editor in Chief. “Taking on a role held by the company’s founder for the past four decades is a pretty daunting task,” said Stanton. “But I am extremely excited to steer the editorial ship with the talented and passionate EXHIBITOR crew by my side.”

Stanton has 17 years of experience at EXHIBITOR, first as the publication’s managing editor and later as editor. During Stanton’s editorship, he has been honored with the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) Magazine of the Year award, as well as the Minnesota Media and Publishing Association’s (MMPA) Greg Carey Leadership Award for outstanding leadership in the Minnesota publishing industry. Stanton’s work as a writer and researcher has also garnered national and international recognition including multiple Maggie Awards from the Western Publishing Association (WPA), the 2007 Young Leader Award from ASBPE, back-to-back Best Editorial awards from Trade Association and Business Publications International (TABPI), the 2010 MMPA Innovator Award, and both the 2011 and 2017 MMPA Magazine of the Year awards.

“I am pleased to announce that I have promoted Travis Stanton to Editor in Chief of EXHIBITOR,” said Mark Johnson, the new owner of EXHIBITOR magazine. “As part of his new role, Travis will help EXHIBITOR modernize and globalize the publication. He has been a trusted voice of the industry for years, and it was an easy decision to elevate his position.”

Stanton is most proud of developing recognition programs to highlight the outstanding talent and creativity in the trade show and experiential marketing industries, including EXHIBITOR’s Best of CES Awards, the World Expo Awards, and the Centers of Excellence and Find It – Top 40 programs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Stanton pioneered the development of EXHIBITORInsight webinars and data-rich white papers to keep the industry informed and on track for recovery. Stanton also serves on the ASBPE’s Young Leader Scholarship Subcommittee, and he is the secretary/treasurer of the ASBPE Foundation, which champions educational programs that serve the business-to-business publishing industry.

“I am humbled and honored to be entrusted with this role,” said Stanton. “My plans include growing and evolving EXHIBITOR magazine while staying true to our mission of providing marketers with the tools and education they need to produce high-performance programs with measurable results. Readers can expect richer insights, more comprehensive data, and an expanded focus on best practices, as well as case studies featuring some of the most aspirational face-to-face marketing programs.” Stanton added, “Our goal is to continue educating and inspiring readers while elevating the entire trade show and events ecosystem, and we look forward to co-creating a bright future for everyone who loves live events and appreciates the power of face-to-face marketing.”
