Company History
Event Network was born in 1998 and began with a store for the Titanic Artifact Exhibition in Boston. Larry Gilbert and Helen Sherman, co-founders of the company, led the effort to create a robust retail offering for Titanic (at the time, a fairly novel concept for museum exhibition retail); and, in the process, planted the seed for what Event Network is today—the leading operator of cultural attraction stores worldwide. Event Network is blessed to have several dozen outstanding partnerships with cultural attractions of all kinds. Our partnerships are with art, science, natural history, children’s and cultural museums; zoos; aquariums; gardens; iconic landmarks and historic sites. We are proud to serve millions of cultural attraction guests every year.
Event Network’s core purpose is to extend and elevate the guest experience at our partners’ attractions in order to achieve their maximum retail potential. The magic of our business model is in our support structure. We have developed a talented, experienced team that is exclusively focused on merchandising and operating great stores. Successful retail must properly address product, environment, people and systems on a daily basis. We have teams of enthusiastic experts across the various key disciplines of retail—product development and sourcing, store design/planning, visual merchandising, regional operations management, e-commerce/digital, accounting and human resources—that are responsible for enabling our store teams to perform at the highest possible level every day. The goal? To maximize per capita spending and guest satisfaction in our stores on behalf of, and in close collaboration with, our partners.
Everything we do is based upon a set of unchanging core values that speak to the following: uncompromising integrity; surpassing expectations; total commitment to store quality; and a culture rooted in developing healthy partnerships, exciting career opportunities for our people and world-class service for the guests who shop in our stores. We also cherish and celebrate an entrepreneurial spirit and seek partners that embrace such a way of thinking.
We strongly believe in the notion of being a “for purpose and in service” company, a motto that guides how each and every one of our team members thinks and operates each day. From supporting our partners’ missions and brands, to celebrating and representing local artisans and communities, to ensuring that all product and materials for our store environments are sourced ethically and responsibly, our goal is to provide the best possible experience for each guest that comes through our partners’ doors. We are excited about our Company history, but even more so about the future and the opportunity to be in service to our wonderful guests and partners for many years to come!
