Why Space is No Longer a ‘Place’ to Go

Space is no longer just a destination—it’s the next operational environment for global business. From communications to climate intelligence to manufacturing, space technologies are now reshaping industries that traditionally had “nothing to do with space.”

In this keynote, Sarah Cruddas reveals why companies across broad industries including finance, energy, logistics, insurance, agriculture, and AI are suddenly leveraging space-based infrastructure—and how those who act now will gain a decisive competitive advantage.

She breaks down the real commercial use cases emerging today, the players to watch, and the steps any organization can take to prepare for a future where space isn’t a frontier… but an extension of the economy.

From Outer Space to Cyberspace: How Technology Is Driving the New Space Race

"We dreamed of jetpacks and flying cars; instead, we got Uber Eats.”

This talk uncovers why the last century’s bold predictions stalled—and why a convergence of AI, robotics, private capital, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and reusable rockets is now accelerating the real space revolution.

Sarah Cruddas decodes the technological breakthroughs reshaping the global balance of power and explains why this “New Space Race” isn’t about flags on the Moon, but data, digital infrastructure, sovereign security, and commercial opportunity.

Audiences leave with a strategic understanding of how Earth’s most transformative innovations—from automation to secure networks—will be built through space, and why now is the moment science fiction becomes science strategy.

Our Story with the Stars: Why We Go to Space for Earth

Space exploration has always been about Earth—our safety, our resilience, our imagination, and our future. Through her unique global reporting career, Sarah Cruddas brings audiences inside the world of modern explorers, scientists, and innovators shaping humanity’s greatest frontier.

This keynote blends storytelling with insight as she reveals how satellites protect the planet, how human spaceflight drives breakthroughs in health and robotics, and how exploration expands our capacity to solve Earth’s biggest challenges.

It’s a reminder of what unites us, inspires us, and pushes us forward—on Earth and beyond.

Getting Your Story Straight: Strategic Storytelling for Science & Technology

In an era of AI, complexity, and information overload, the organizations that win are the ones that communicate clearly. Drawing on 15+ years as a global science journalist and storyteller, Sarah Cruddas teaches teams how to translate complex technology into messages that influence, inspire, and mobilize audiences.

This session reveals how to build narratives that cut through noise, earn trust, and elevate brand credibility—whether you’re pitching investors, recruiting talent, navigating media, or shaping public perception.
