TESTIMONIALS
I am thrilled to be able to call the two of you partners. Having heard about your high level of expertise from various sources within the convention center, I called on the two of you to support us with various events throughout the past three (3) months. These events included, AUSA, Pri-Med, and most recently, The Presidential Inaugural Ball. I must say that you both brought a quality of service that surpassed my expectations. Each of these events was serviced with great success, with your support being an important factor. I cannot thank the two of you enough, not only for the service you provide while you are contracted with Centerplate/NBSE, but for your partnership when you are hired by the many groups and associations when being outsourced as professional meeting planners. I look forward to building on our relationship for I find it very beneficial to our organization to do so. The two of you are as professional as they come, thanks and I look forward to the next event.

I have known Ramon and Socrates for several years and have had the pleasure of working with them on many occasions. I have always found them to be professional and customer service oriented. They truly become a part of your team, and treat every client and project as if it were their own trade show or event. They are known for the dedication and expertise and have the knowledge and contacts in the industry to get even the most difficult tasks done! I look forward to working with TCG again very soon!

The CALPRO Group is always a pleasure to work with. They are complete professionals, dedicated and accessible, and treat each request and concern with the importance a client expects. TCG knows the trade show business and has the contacts to get the job done right. They are excellent at working with diverse groups of people and willing to put in whatever time it takes to satisfy the client. I have had the opportunity to work with TCG for several years in various capacities with our Direct Marketing Association of Washington Annual Conference and EXPO and they have always and continue to do a first rate job. Each year we feel confident in turning over more and more aspects of the show to TCG to handle.

Wow! We just finished the smoothest convention we’ve had in Washington, thanks in no small part to The CALPRO Group. Every time I turned around They were there – checking on every function, every manager, and every order. They are very proactive, consummate professionals, and one of the most customer service oriented consultants with whom we have had the pleasure to work in my 15 years in the business.

Socrates Calá is an invaluable member of the Washington Auto Show team.
We had the pleasure of working with Socrates when he was the Events
Manager for the Auto Show with the Washington Convention Center. When
the opportunity arose to work with Socrates again, we did not hesitate.
Contracting Socrates to help us with the Washington Auto Show has proven
to be the best decision we could have made.

It was a pleasure to work with Members of The CALPRO Group for our recent Government Video Technology Expo 04 event. They gave my exhibitors the one on one attention that they deserve. They had extensive knowledge of the facility, exhibitor needs and contractors and did not waste any time getting the job done. I look forward to working with them on future events we produce.
