My name is Leah Jacko, 2005 graduate of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in Hospitality Management. I started off on the event planning side of the industry in 2006 working for a 3rd party planning company. That is where I first worked with Signature Group Events and met Dan and Laura. They were always a pleasure to work with and great fun on site. In 2016 I went out on my own and started my own company, continuing to work with SGE. In 2020, Dan reached out to me to help on virtual events, as that was where the world was – and the rest is history. I love figuring out what people need and how to best reward their participants. It’s nice to be able to give people a gift and make them smile. My favorite thing is to find new products and brainstorm new and fresh ideas.
