Recent feedback ...
Eleanor was meticulous in her in her research and preparation. She handled the panel discussion between a government minister, and leading industry professionals, commentators and academics with intelligence and dexterity - with a keen eye on keeping the audience informed and entertained.
Eleanor was a joy to work with and we hope she will moderate our future Sydney forums.
