About the The L.A. Meeting & Event Center

is the brain child of Naked Real Estate Investors Club Founder and Events Promoter, Rosie Nieto and RE/Max Commercial broker, Gary Haddick, CCIM. Faced the continuous challenge of finding professional event space for their own trainings, seminars, and celebrations, they also tired of the continuously rising cost for hotel and convention center meeting space, they teamed up to form their own affordable, flexible meeting & events center that would be made available to other entrepreneurs needing meeting space for their own events. www.lameetingcenter.com
