BENEFITS
No job too
small. No
expectation
too high...
Known as patient stewards of their customers’ goals, brothers Socrates
and Ramón Calá began their business
by providing services to customers who were too small for many larger
companies. Their jobs have grown over
the years as have their customer’s expectations.
The brothers began their
careers as employees of the first Convention
Center. Ramón was the first to
join our team in 1990, when he was hired as an Account Executive. Seven
years later, he started The Calpro Group, a company that provides meeting
planning services for conferences,
tradeshows and special events.
Socrates teamed up with his brother
soon after, and together they have
provided their meeting planning and
special event services tomore than
30 shows.
