Kate Russell is a journalist and author who writes about technology and the Internet. Currently, she appears regularly on the BBC technology programme 'Click' and writes a monthly column for National Geographic. 

Through her work, Kate aims to inspire the next generation of technologists. Her website has won multiple awards for the best technology blog and she has been featured as one of the top 50 most influential women in UK IT by Computer Weekly for two years in a row.

Also passionate about sci-fi and the internet, Kate writes about these two topics and, in fact, her first book 'Working the Cloud' delivered a collection of online tips, tricks and resources for small businesses, start-ups and entrepreneurs. Her second book, 'Elite: Mostly Harmless', is a crowd-funded science fiction novel based on a remake of the computer game that first inspired her love of technology.

Kate is also an experienced and confident master of ceremonies, conference chair, moderator, keynote speaker, panellist and after dinner speaker. She can offer insight and expertise in most areas of technology and digital transformation and is happy to tailor a presentation to suit any audience. She speaks with great energy and humour, making complex technical topics entertaining and easier to understand.

As well as live events, Kate is a virtual technology host and keynote speaker. With a superfast upload connection, professional lighting and a microphone plus greenscreen, Kate is perfectly set-up to broadcast from home for your next virtual event.

" We were delighted that Kate Russell Chaired the Parliamentary Internet, Communications and Technology Forum Annual Dinner in the House of Lords in 2016. The insight, depth of knowledge of the sector, experience and expertise that she brought to Chairing this All Party Parliamentary Group event was invaluable. Attended by MPs, Members of the House of Lords, policy-makers, business people, journalists and other stakeholders, the event covered a wide range of issues – from ethics in innovation to copyright – and Kate ensured that discussion progressed smoothly "
