ABOUT US

A key
to every project.

CLEIS was born in Milan with a clear vision: to combine passion and transparency. Today, with a network of trusted suppliers, we turn every challenge into an opportunity.

01 — OUR STORY

Where Cleis began

Ugo Canonici, founder of CLEIS

The idea

In the 1980s, in Milan, Ugo Canonici turned an idea born at IBM into a new venture: building a bridge between technology, organisation and communication. That is how CLEIS was born.

The origins

The name CLEIS comes from the Greek κλείς, “key”: a symbol of access, connection and openness. From the very beginning this has been our goal: to open doors, create connections and make possible what does not yet exist.

Growth

Over the years, CLEIS became a benchmark in corporate event organisation. Every project is looked after in every detail, thanks to a network of established professionals and suppliers.

Evolution

With the arrival of new technologies, CLEIS broadened its horizons: event direction was joined by digital productions, multimedia content and tailor-made communication.

Today

Today CLEIS is a transparent and passionate partner, where experience and innovation meet. For us, every event is an opportunity to create value, move people and leave a mark.
