Who We Are
Who we are
Your success is our success. It’s that simple.
Did you know?
Founded in 1905, Shepard has more than 100 years of event experience, including the release of Gone with the Wind in 1939.
It’s all in the numbers.
Shepard has more than 375 full-time employees, and we’ve created more than 40,000 events and exhibits.
We’re everywhere.
From ATL to the city of Angels, we have 17 offices all across the U.S. So no matter where our customers reside, we’re always available to lend a hand.
Our mission
We are invested in the success of each event and every client. If our clients aren’t successful, neither are we. We take the time to understand your business and create an event that far exceeds your expectations. To do this, we stick to six core principles.
Teamwork
Integrity
Commitment
Responsiveness
Spirit
Caring
Sustainability
We are committed to conducting business in a way that protects and improves the state of the environment. We all live in this world, and we believe it’s our responsibility to leave it better than the way we found it. So, through our comprehensive sustainability program, recognized by the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership, we’re constantly finding ways to conduct business in a manner that protects and improves the environment. In fact, we’re committed to reducing 600,000 tons of exhibition and event waste each year.
Solar Installations
We installed a 159-panel solar power system in our Atlanta corporate offices, making them energy neutral.
Digital technology
Our event portal, bluEX, allows our customers to digitally manage all aspects of event planning and production, alleviating the need for paper.
Graphic production
Our VUTEk Wide Body Printers use environmentally friendly soy-based inks to print onto biodegradable substrates, making all printed materials 100% recyclable.
