You might want to read what the purpose of the Experimental Exhibition category was meant for. It is defined not only in FAA regs, but also in another sort of way when you read your Operating Limitations. In short, they are meant to be used for display of the aircraft and the aircraft capabilities to the general public. This is why you are required to turn in your "Program Letter" every year defining what events you intent (but are not required to) attend.
Proficiency flights are meant to keep the pilot proficient in the make and model. Simple as that.
Flying to an event, participating in an event, etc., is NOT a proficiency flight.

Download and review the FAA’s “bible” used to write your Operating Limitations. Google FAA Order 8130.2J (current version) and search the Order for “proficiency”. Also “Experimental Exhibition”. And finally “Passenger”. You should find all the answers to you questions.

From the FAA:
Review Application. Verify the application, including the program letter, demonstrates eligibility for the requested experimental purpose of exhibition. This purpose includes exhibiting the aircraft’s flight capabilities, performance, or unusual characteristics at air shows, fly-ins, and similar events; for motion picture, television, and similar productions; and for the maintenance of exhibition flight proficiency, including (for persons exhibiting aircraft) flying to and from such events and productions.
