EN Partnership Portfolio

e|n Partner Since 2002 The Indianapolis Zoo has been delighting guests of all ages for nearly 50 years. Event Network has been the proud retail partner since 2002 and recently executed a long term contract extensionwiththeZoo.Aspartextension,EventNetworkdesigned and built a new 4,400 sq. ft. main store. Keeping with the Zoo’s conservation initiatives, the design incorporated recycled and salvaged elements from the local area. Recycled barn and fence wood was used for wall boards and fixtures. Naturally fallen tree trunks foraged from local Indiana forest floors make up wall supports and used as decorative features around the store. “Wow” elements, such as the giant Orangutan statue and Elephant pillars accentuate the natural feel of the store. The store is inviting to guests and there are surprises around every corner, encouraging guests to explore and spend more time shopping in the store!

We look forward to continuing to grow and deepen our partnership in the years ahead. Your annual meeting theme of service in your work as a for purpose organization resonate so very much with us and we appreciate and value our relationship with Event Network. — Vik Dewan Chief Executive Officer

e|n Partner Since 2004 As America’s oldest zoo, the Philadelphia Zoo remains an innovator and leader in its animal exhibits, conservation and its creative marketing campaigns to drive annual attendance. Event Network and the Zoo work in an extremely collaborative fashion on all aspects of the operation in an effort to maximize per capita spending and integration of the guest experience. In 2010-2011, Event Network completed a major remodel of the Zoo’s main store. While the footprint of the building could not change (it is designated historic), passageways in and out of the store were dramatically improved and the interior of the store completely redone to make it more shopper- friendly, flexible and dynamic. The exterior received a nice facelift to draw more traffic into the store. Event Network also operates several ancillary locations and generates per capita sales at the highest end of the zoo spectrum nationally. It is a true partnership with both parties committed to mutual long-term success.

Thank you for being such a wonderful partner to us at the Zoo. We truly appreciate all of you at Event Network and your team here is simply amazing! — Jennifer Flowers Director Membership & Guest Services

We enjoy a tremendous partnership with the Phoenix Zoo. The Zoo is heavily supported by its local community and has an outstanding holiday experience that drives huge traffic.

With the support of many local and loyal customers, we have produced remarkable results. We look forward to growing the business further in coming years. e|n Partner Since 2006

What an incredible year this has been! Michelle and the team are just fantastic. We are thrilled to see such success together on a number of projects, especially given a few very nutty spring break attendance days! All has been smooth and really enjoyable for our guests — the numbers sure show it! — Jessica Patterson Associate Director of Guest Services, Woodland Park Zoo

e|n Partner Since 2014 Located in Seattle, the Woodland Park Zoo is famed for pioneering naturalistic exhibits and setting international standards for zoos in animal care, conservation and education programs. Through engaging exhibits and programming, the Zoo helps raise awareness and educate guests on the importance of conservation and ways individuals and communities can take action to preserve our natural habitat. Event Network was selected as the Zoo’s retail partner after a national RFP process in 2014 for our ability to extend and support the Zoo’s mission through creative and compelling merchandise assortments and store environments. Results so far have been spectacular, and we look forward to being in service to the Woodland Park Zoo and its guests for years to come!

Educational, emotional and appropriate for all ages, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, takes visitors on a journey through the life of Titanic. Along the way guests will learn countless stories of heroism and humanity that pay homage to the indomitable force of the human spirit in the face of tragedy. Event Network has been honored to serve as the Titanic’s Exhibition’s retail partner for the better part of 14 years (1998-2012) and we have operated at least a few dozen Titanic stores over that time period. Through Titanic, we have helped to define what museum exhibition retail is capable of achieving.

With the successful launch of Potter, Event Network has exceeded our expectations on every level. We couldn’t be more pleased with their performance and we look forward to many years of partnership. — Dave Danon Vice President - Exhibitions Branded Entertainment Exhibitgroup | Giltspur

Harry Potter is one of the most dynamic museum exhibitions ever developed. Exhibitgroup/Giltspur, in partnership with Warner Bros, has brought to life a world of wizardry with unprecedented literary appeal. The exhibit has toured very successfully in North America from 2009-2011 before embarking on a world tour. Event Network designed, built, merchandised and operated the Harry Potter store at each host museum in North America. Because it is so good, the store is literally integrated into the Exhibition. Working closely with Warner Bros and its Harry Potter licensees, Event Network also created a singular collection of Harry Potter merchandise that has yielded per capita sales of nearly $10.



Bloodthirsty plunderers. Pillaging warriors. Seafaring traders. What do we really know about Vikings? VIKINGS: The Exhibition explores the myths and stereotypes of this ancient culture and offers a fresh and contemporary look into the Viking Age. VIKINGS is an extraordinary window into the lifestyle, religion, and daily lives of these legendary explorers, artisans, and crafts-people. Exhibiting objects rarely displayed outside of Scandinavia, this compelling exhibition challenges the perceptions of the Viking Age through hundreds of objects, as well as interactive and immersive experiences. Exclusive to the Royal Ontario Museum, a portion of the exhibition was dedicated to the Viking footprint in Canada, and dove into the archaeology and history of the Norse on our East Coast.



Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination is a thrilling exhibit that explores the science and technology depicted in the Star Wars films. The blockbuster exhibit, developed by the Museum of Science in conjunction with Lucas Films, is the first exhibition to display costumes and props from all six Star Wars films with real world technologies. Event Network designed, built, merchandised and operates the Star Wars Exhibition shop, offering a diverse assortment of unique product that compliments the exhibit and is sure to please all Star Wars and Technology enthusiasts.



The art of marking skin with ink spans cultures, continents, and has evolved over time. We find ourselves with a mysterious fascination with both ancient and modern tattoo practices. Are they considered a sacred ritual or an act of rebellion? A sign of belonging or expression of individuality? Tattoos an Exhibition explores the history, technique, and motivation behind the practice, as well as celebrating it as an art form. Premiering at the musée du quai Branly in Paris, where the exhibition received rave reviews, it has since traveled to the Royal Ontario Museum in 2016 and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in 2017-2018.

I have worked with Event Network for a number of years. They are a company of great integrity and focus on their craft of attraction and exhibition retail. — Mark Greenberg President Evergreen Exhibitions

Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient Times is a masterful exhibition that features the most comprehensive collection of ancient artifacts from Israel ever organized, including what is widely considered one of the world’s greatest archeological discoveries, the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls. Dating from the Biblical to Byzantine period, objects on display, in addition to the Scrolls, include remains of religious artifacts, weapons of war, stone carvings, textiles, mosaics and everyday household items that give guests a glimpse into the past.
