United Nations AI for Good Global Summit, 2019, 2020-22 online, 2023 Geneva
Host and Performer, United Nations AI For Good Summit, Geneva
“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 recommended LJ for any event and could not imagine running another Summit without her!”
