Kentucky Venues announced the promotion of Ian Cox to Executive Director of Communications. Kentucky Venues operates the Kentucky Exposition Center and the Kentucky International Convention Center, as well as produces six signature events that include the National Farm Machinery Show, North American International Livestock Exposition, and Kentucky State Fair.
Since June 2019, Cox has served as the Assistant Director of Communications for Kentucky Venues after 
starting with the company in 2017 as an intern for the Kentucky State Fair. He has served in four different roles within the organization prior to his promotion. In his new role, he leads the communications department responsible for public relations, marketing and promotion, as well as serving as spokesperson for the in-house shows and facilities.
