Charlotte Wheeler, Event Director, Media Production & Technology Show

ITU worked with LJ Rich to MC and moderate the landmark AI for Good Global Summit 2019. She is a true master of the stage and did an excellent job keeping the audience engaged and motivated throughout the 4 day event. She has excellent historical, business and technical knowledge, which is crucial when dealing with a mixed audience of politicians, academics and leading minds in AI and technology. She is very professional, constantly tweaking the mood and tone with the changing themes of the sessions. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that she is an accomplished musician and performer which we put to good use during one of the cultural evenings. I would highly recommend LJ for any event and could not imagine running another Summit without her!

She kept our audience enthralled throughout her presentation–which is a good thing, because now they know what side dish is best to serve while listening to Pink Floyd. Who knew that learning about synesthesia could be so entertaining?
