Our History

Expertise spanning more than a century.

Shepard is proud to be the first general service contractor in the event industry to reach 120 years.

Our story began in 1905 with humble beginnings. Before exhibit halls and production rigs, we got our start handcrafting storefront displays. These displays were designed to invite people to walk through the doors and help businesses connect with customers face to face. Even then, our focus was on understanding what people wanted to experience and finding new ways to bring those moments to life. From producing the legendary Gone With the Wind premiere in 1939 to planning the first ever event at the Georgia World Congress Center, Shepherd has been there for some of history's most iconic moments.

Over the years, we've grown into an ESOP company powered by more than 600 employee owners who share in our success. And through every challenge, our Blue Diamond service standard has remained our compass, a promise of excellence and care that our customers can always count on.

You only turn 120 once, and the best part? We get to celebrate it with you, the customers, employees, and partners who have made every moment possible. The next century will be defined by resilience, innovation, and a future full of limitless possibilities where we continue the privilege of uniting people from around the world through remarkable experiences. Because after 120 years, one thing's for sure: we're just getting started.

Thank you for being part of our story. Here's to the next 120 years together.
