Angela Lamont

Angela Lamont is a celebrated broadcaster, who handles some of the most complex topics in the world - such as space, fusion, AI, sustainability, cybersecurity and fintech. Despite their complexity, such topics all make perfect sense with Angela's down-to-earth and engaging style as a keynote speaker and host! Panels with Angela become passionate chats, where speakers feel able to give their best and audiences leave knowing how they can make a real difference. A broadcaster with over 200 BBC shows to her name (plus a BAFTA), including “It’ll Never Work?”, “Fragile Planet” and "The Network”, Angela loves to engage with live audiences, having hosted over 500 conferences, award ceremonies and live events. Her clients include CERN, ESA, Ericsson, Experian, IEE, Lloyd’s Register, The Open University and UKAEA among many others.

Before joining the BBC, Angela worked in tech and witnessed world-changing events such as the first computer virus being unleashed and paralysing networks worldwide. Angela quickly established herself as a reputable figure in the engineering, science, maths and technology industries. Specialising in science and information technology, she is known for presenting science as fun and entertaining. Angela’s ‘science-with-a-smile’ programmes offer a combination of science education and humour, making her an approachable voice on the subject. Her warmth and passion for those working in tech is evident, but so is her understanding of technophobes and those who are uncomfortable with change.

Her talent lies in bringing out the best both in your audience and speakers so the event is meaningful, memorable and acts as a catalyst for change. She has clocked up nearly 30 years in the industry and is unflappable, approachable and ridiculously well-prepared! In her public speaking, she expands concepts to discuss psychological, physical, engineering and scientific subjects. Angela’s confident, comical presenting style turns these sometimes challenging subjects into interesting, accessible discussions. Angela’s media appearances have been awarded with numerous honours - such as a BAFTA and an RTS award. From solar exploration to engineering, Angela’s wide range of topics to discuss make her an adaptable presenter, capable of tailoring her speech specifically to your event.

Angela's keynotes are born out of being a thoroughly unappreciated techie for years. They show the incredible world-changing events that those in tech can witness…and yet the blood, sweat and tears that the individuals put into making the new tech world turn. They’re aimed at not surviving, but thriving on change. And with keynote names such as “It Shouldn’t Happen To A Geek” and “How to Lose 10lb, Get Whiter Teeth, Save the Planet and Improve Your Sex Life Just by Following This One Weird Tip”, you can bet they’re packed with laughs, too!
