oCal Tents & Events LLC, South El
Monte, Calif., is no stranger to largescale productions and big-name events.
Established in 2007, the company was
acquired by PRO EM National Event

vice presidential debate between Vice
President Mike Pence of Indiana and
Senator Kamala Harris of California.
The event was held at Kingsbury Hall at
the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on
Oct. 7. SoCal Tents & Events was awarded
