4/16/2025

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Today, at the official corporate kick-off of the 2025 Kentucky Derby Festival, the 69th annual They’re Off! ® , Kris Kiser—President and CEO of Equip Exposition, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), and the TurfMutt Foundation—was presented with the first-ever Louisville Tourism Impact Award in recognition of his outstanding dedication to the city. “It’s a true honor to be the first recipient of this award,” says Kiser. “Louisville is now home for me, and I’m proud to be part

of its continued momentum as one of the country’s most vibrant cities.” Kiser’s ties to Louisville run deep. A native of the region and a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Law, he relocated from Washington DC to Louisville in 2022. He brought the management of award-winning Equip Exposition in-house, immediately establishing its offices in downtown Louisville, a key step in strengthening the partnership between the city and the organization he leads.
