I’ve been planning and implementing global events for more than 25 years. Drawing from public sector experience — including a stint in the White House Office of Scheduling and Advance — and private sector work at virtually every level of event organization, I focus on identifying show-starved industries and building the infrastructure to launch and sustain major events that feed a growing need.

Mike Petrassi
Sales Manager
My love for the international events industry started just over 10 years ago. I came from the freight forwarding business where I was working on big shipments for trade shows. Once I dove into the sales side of the business, I found great satisfaction; I knew I was going to make a career here. I now manage a team of six outstanding sales associates who focus on helping U.S. companies grow their businesses and stand out from competitors at shows around the world. Every day I look forward to building new relationships and helping our customers reach their export goals.
I focus on all things media related at Kallman Worldwide, and am so happy to be a part of sharing our story. It's incredible to work with a talented company that truly appreciates hard work and is always willing to go the extra mile. Although I’ve been a part of the Kallman family for 10 years (since I made my first pot of Pavilion coffee at Farnborough 2006), I am excited now to have a real place in the company, and to help our community grow through content marketing and social media. You’ll see me on-site with a Red Bull in one hand and an iPhone in the other — but when I’m not hashtagging around the world, I enjoy DIY projects, attending concerts, weekends down the Jersey shore and a little too much retail therapy.
