Solstice team hosts table at Calista Business Reception

This past summer Calista Corporation held its inaugural Business Reception, a B2B event that introduced the company's subsidiaries to the Alaska business community. Solstice planned, managed and publicized the event for Calista, and also staffed a booth there to hand out information and meet prospective clients.

The team had a great time, and the Solstice "Creative Survival Kits," which were given out to those who stopped by, were a huge hit. The bags, which held branded water bottles, matches, duct tape and other useful items also contained a Solstice glow stick. Brightly shining bags could be seen all over the event.
