Event Network was born in the summer of 1998 as a single store created for the Titanic Artifact Exhibition in Boston. Harnessing that energy and know-how for a topic that appealed to so many, we rather quickly began to see broader and significant potential to enhance retail offerings at attractions of all kinds. Particularly those fueled by a mission with compelling content and great brands. Brick by brick, we evolved to become the leading operator of experiential stores for cultural and lifestyle destinations in the United States. We humbly continue in that endeavor with a commitment to adding even more value. Our journey is rooted in an unwavering commitment to support the organizations we love so that they may thrive for years to come. We aim to elevate guest experiences and optimize our partners' returns while making their lives a bit simpler. In the process, we become part and parcel of these great brand stories and the important roles they play within their communities and beyond.
