Morphology

promoter = promote (transparent) = promote + er

Agentive '-er' applied to 'promote' yielding a professional/occupational sense (organiser/promoter), which is a predictable extension.

Etymology

Promoter comes from the Latin word promovere, made of pro- 'forward' and movere 'to move'. That's why a promoter in events is someone who 'moves' a show forward by organizing and advertising it so people come.
