Freeman Decorating Services, Inc.

Making the impossible possible. That's the attitude we take while producing events for thousands of organizations every year. Since 1927, we've been producing expositions, conventions, corporate events and exhibits for a wide array of clients. And even after all those years, our goal remains the same—to bring people together—to inform, to inspire, to promote business and to build relationships, face-to-face. The Freeman family and our employee owners have worked hard to earn a reputation for quality, integrity, innovation and a commitment to our industry.

Donald S. "Buck" Freeman, visionary founder of the company that bears his name, discovered his passion for his lifelong trade while still in college at the University of Iowa. As a pledge for a national fraternity, Buck realized his knack for party decorating. His natural ability and early successes led him to establish the New Idea Service Company in 1923. Four years later, in 1927, Buck Freeman opened the first Freeman Decorating Company office in Des Moines, Iowa.
