Meet Peggy
Spotlight Meetings & Events is the creation of Peggy Purcell-Mayer and the culmination of more than a decade of experience in the hotel and meeting planning industries.
After five years in the hotel industry, Peggy's background in hotel accommodations, convention services, and meeting planning allowed her to make a smooth and natural transition to the field of corporate travel and event planning. With American Express Group Travel Services, she served as an in-house meeting planner for CNA Insurance. At McGettigan Partners in Chicago, Peggy expanded her event planning to serve a variety of industries and corporate giants such as Proctor & Gamble, Eli Lily & Company, Quaker Oats, and Nortel Networks.
Throughout her career, Peggy has gained invaluable insight, experience, and contacts in hotel, travel, and event-planning industries. She brings all this and more to Spotlight Meetings & Events, where personal and professional service put the customers' needs in the Spotlight of success.
