Sarah Cruddas Speaking Topics

  • 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.
