" It was a pleasure working with Sarah Cruddas to introduce and moderate a discussion with keynote Buzz Aldrin at the inaugural ‘me Convention’, a new collaboration between SXSW and Mercedes-Benz. Sarah was very responsive and decisive which was great given our short timeline. She was organised and communicative throughout the process, which made all the preparations go quite smoothly. On site, she was able to direct the conversation appropriately and engage the audience fluidly, and so we look forward to working with her on future events! "
