The US-based experiential marketing agency STAR Group has announced the retirement of David DuBois (pictured), president of its Exhibitor Group, effective 1 July, 2024.
DuBois joined STAR Group as president of Exhibitor Group in 2023, bringing with him a wealth of experience and he led the way with its EXHIBITORLIVE event and industry certification programme.
DuBois spearheaded numerous initiatives that had an impact on the industry and on the business, including the expansion of the EXHIBITORLIVE conference, the introduction of educational programmes, and the enhancement of the Exhibitor team supporting this work.
"It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as the president of Exhibitor Group," said DuBois. "I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together as a team. I have been fortunate to work with some of the most talented and passionate individuals in the industry, and I am confident that Exhibitor Group will continue to thrive and innovate in the years to come."
An industry veteran of more than 45 years, David has served in both for-profit and non-profit roles spanning hospitality, event marketing, exhibitions, education, and trade shows.
"David DuBois has been a transformative leader for Exhibitor Group," said Mark Johnson, CEO of STAR Group. "His vision, integrity, and dedication as a professional are only surpassed by his passion, character, and commitment as a husband, father, and grandfather. We are grateful for his contributions and wish him all the best in his retirement."
DuBois retired at the end of last year from his role as president and CEO of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE).
