About Gus Calabrese
Starting his professional career as a Petroleum Engineer seems odd for a guy who now plans events, however. the similarities make perfect sense to Gus. Capacity, flow, logistics and attention to the details are major components of both Petroleum and event management. Gus’ event background includes some of Philadelphia’s most recognized events, The Reindeer Romp (3,000 participants), The World’s Largest Bar Crawl (15,000 participants), Xtoberfest (7,500 participants) on average over 50,000 tickets are sold to events produced by Gus. Since early 2011 Gus has been involved with logistics for Conferences Connect. In November of 2014 Gus left the Philadelphia event scene and took on a bigger roll of strategic planning and marketing for Conference Connects. Gus looks forward to the challenge of creating engaging conferences in multiple markets.
