Thames Valley: Experienced BBC presenter to host Tech Awards

Angela Lamont will be the host/presenter at the inaugural Thames Valley Tech Awards, which takes place at the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre, Madejski Stadium, Reading, on May 24.

With more than 200 BBC broadcast programmes and literally hundreds of conferences, award ceremonies and live events under her belt, Lamont specialises in presenting technology, engineering and sustainability in an engaging way.

With an IQ of 150, her professional yet down-to-earth presentation style and ability to tune-in to any situation has won her a loyal and enviable client list including Oracle, Orange and PwC. Her strong science, tech and engineering background makes her an easy choice for many subjects that would scare other presenters off.

A highly experienced and professional corporate presenter, Lamont is at ease whether she is hosting an international conference on nuclear fusion, conducting a business television interview with a CEO, or hosting an intimate awards ceremony for a select few at Buckingham Palace.

Keynote speaker at the event, which is run by The Business Magazine, is one of the world’s most respected and sought-after futurists. Peter Cochrane will speak on technology, change and the future effects of change on corporations, individuals and society. His reputation as a ‘thought-leader’ and thinking ‘out of the box’ will ensure guests at this prestigious awards night will take home valuable insights on the world of tech.

Cochrane, the former head of research at British Telecommunications plc, the UK’s largest telecommunications company, is on the board of  TTI/Vanguard, a group of renowned innovators (including Nicholas Negroponte) based in Santa Monica, California, who continually scan the frontiers of technology and give early warnings about breakthrough and potentially disruptive technologies.
