Stacey presented our Keynote at the AICWA Conference this year which focussed on Technology & Trust, and she was nothing short of exceptional. Her unique ability to translate complex GenAI and Deepfake concepts into relatable, real-world scenarios made the risks and opportunities immediately tangible for all attendees, and she delivered it in such an enjoyable and engaging style we have had nothing but stellar feedback from attendees. As the conference organiser, I can confirm that Stacey's session was rated the most engaging and practically useful of the entire event – which is quite an achievement given the calibre of presenters we had arranged for the day. When asked about the conference highlight, one attendee enthusiastically responded, "Stacey, she was amazing!" I highly recommend Stacey for any organisation looking to raise awareness of the future of work in the era of GenAI and Deepfake. Her approach sets a new standard for addressing these emerging challenges in our field. And, important to say also that she is an absolute pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Stacey as the MC for our L&D Symposium in Hunter Valley. Stacey brought an infectious energy to our event that kept attendees engaged from start to finish. Her ability to maintain this high level of enthusiasm throughout the 2 days was remarkable and contributed significantly to our symposium's success. What stood out most was Stacey's knack for "reading the room" and adapting her approach accordingly. She seamlessly transitioned between energetic introductions and more reflective moments, ensuring our audience remained captivated regardless of the session's tone. The feedback from our attendees was overwhelmingly positive, resulting in an outstanding NPS score of 8.9. Many participants specifically mentioned Stacey's MC skills as a highlight of the symposium. Personally, I found working with Stacey to be a joy. Her enthusiasm, preparedness, and collaborative spirit made my job as an organiser much easier and more enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Stacey for any event requiring a skilled, energetic, and adaptable MC.
