Through stewardship and commitment to corporate social responsibility, Stetson has become the most recognized and respected leader in the exposition community. Including environmental leadership practices, and industry and local community activism.
Stetson’s dedication to “accelerating the adoption of sustainable practices and policies for the exposition industry™” has led to many distinctions, including leadership roles with EDPA & EACA, culminating in the appointment of a Stetson Executive Team member as the Chair in the CIC/APEX/ASTM Standards Writing Initiative, the first effort of its kind in North America.
