Madison was an amazing asset to the conference - she understood the topics, was able to easily summarize and add interesting comments after speakers. She engaged with both the audience and the speakers really well, adapted when things didn't go quite to plan and generally made the room feel safe that she had things under control. Awesome to have a strong woman leading a panel of majority male speakers!
