EXHIBITOR Forms Educational Partnership with EDPA
10/5/2022
ROCHESTER, MN. - Exhibitor Group, the award-winning leader in trade show and corporate event marketing education, publisher of EXHIBITOR magazine, and producer of EXHIBITOR educational conferences, is pleased to announce that EXHIBITOR and the Experiential Designers and Producers Association (EDPA) have formed a partnership to provide ongoing professional education to EDPA members through EXHIBITOR's Certified Trade Show Marketer (CTSM) program.

EDPA members attending the organization’s ACCESS 2022 will be able to purchase a discounted Main Event Pass for EXHIBITORLIVE (scheduled for April 23 - 26, 2023, in Louisville, KY.) Additionally, several sessions at ACCESS 2022 will carry CTSM credits. These CTSM classes will be electives in the program. To learn more about CTSM professional certification, visit www.CTSM.com.

"I am a firm believer in using insights to identify unmet needs that unlock growth for our industry, and that process begins with education,” said Dan Raynak, president of Exhibitor Group. “Education is one of the most important pillars of Exhibitor Group, and as we look to the future, we will be focused on creating more continuous education opportunities across our industry in the U.S. and internationally. The combined efforts of EDPA executive director Dasher Lowe, Amy Sondrup of Access TCA, and Dee Silfes and Mark Johnson of EXHIBITOR, and their shared passion for the industry, have made this partnership possible."

EDPA president emeritus and president of Access TCA Amy Sondrup will coordinate the program. "This is consistent with what we at Access TCA have been advocating for years with our sponsorship of the CTSM activities at EXHIBITORLIVE, as well as our sponsorship of EXHIBITORFastTrak, a sponsorship we have doubled this year,” added Sondrup. “Moreover, we encourage our own client services people to enroll in the CTSM program. We believe in an educated industry, and we are pleased that this alliance will extend CTSM education to the membership of EDPA."

The EDPA ACCESS 2022 sessions that will carry CTSM elective credits include:
  • Rebuilding Your Playbook (Bill Rancic)
  • Fight or Flight... or Delight. Enhancing Your Value with Procurement (John Gleason)
  • DE&I: Finding Your Story (TaChelle Lawson)
EDPA ACCESS 2022 will be held Nov. 29 - Dec. 1, 2022, at La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio, TX. Learn more and register now at www.EDPA.com/access.
