FOUNDERS:

Backtrack to the late eighties. Lenny was working his way up in a national exhibit company when he decided to start his own exhibit company—one that was grounded in integrity. Around that time, Kathleen worked at a major oil company, but by no means was it family friendly. She wanted a safe work environment that respected women and let family issues take precedence. As husband and wife, they turned their visions into reality and started Exhibit Network, an exhibit company that placed clients above profits and made families a priority. Almost 25 years later, Exhibit Network (and their marriage!) still stands upon its founding principles.

 

What’s their secret to success, you might ask? Although speculation says that their hard work, dedication, and faith in God are the reason, you’ll just have to ask them. After all, it is a secret—but one that they love to share.

KATHLEEN MAARTENS

Hi! I am Kathleen. As one of the owners of Exhibit Network, I take full responsibility for the service level of the entire team.

Or if you want to give kudos to the entire team, let me know and I will pass that along to everyone as well. I want to hear from you either way. 

LENNY MAARTENS

Lenny here. I have over 35 years’ experience in trade shows. I haven’t seen everything, but I’ve seen a lot. I’m a co-founder of Exhibit Network with my wife, Kathleen. In all these years, my greatest reward is still when a client says, “Job well done!” If at any time you honestly can’t say that, please contact me as soon as possible so we can fix whatever’s wrong. Here’s my cell phone number: 713-542-6785 or email me at lenny@exhibithouston.com.

Don’t tell my parents this, but as a second generation partner, I actually enjoy this whole family business thing. My favorite thing here is streamlining processes and making all of the Exhibit Network team happy—after all, if our team is happy, our clients will be too. Find something we can improve on or have any suggestions? Let me know at 713-290-1212 or email me kasia@exhibithouston.com and I’m all over it!

CHANTE' TIMMONS

Hello! My name is Chante’. I have been with Exhibit Network for a long, long time. I am an account manager and I know your tradeshow schedule before you do. That’s my job!

KIM CAMPBELL

Hi! My name is Kim. I am an account manager at Exhibit Network. That means I do tons of research and paperwork to make your trade show “effortlessly” successful. If it seems like I am nagging you for your schedule, show services, or artwork, it’s only because I want to beat the deadlines and get the lower prices. If I ever overlook even the tiniest detail, call me at 713-290-1212 or e-mail me at kim@exhibithouston.com. I will deal with it immediately.

JASON PEARL

LARRY DAVIS

Hi! My name is Larry. I’m one of the long-timers at Exhibit Network. Most of you have seen me on the show floor.
