出展者 (shuttensha) is the standard term for exhibitors at trade shows, expos, and business events. 出品者 (shuppinsha) is more common for art exhibitions, contests, and auctions where items are submitted for display or judgment. In many contexts they overlap, but 出展者 emphasizes participation in an event, while 出品者 emphasizes the act of submitting an item.
Do not use 展示する人 (tenjisuru hito) or similar literal translations; they sound unnatural. Use the established terms above.
