An award-winning computer scientist, radical thinker, social entrepreneur and public speaker, Sue is well known for founding the high profile campaign to save Bletchley Park, much of which was realised through the harnessing of social media, using modern technology in a fitting continuation of Bletchley’s legacy. Sue’s book about the campaign Saving Bletchley Park, was one of the fastest crowdfunded books in history.

Sue is a passionate advocate for more women in tech and has spent the last 20 years campaigning for more recognition and support for women in computing. This led to her founding BCS Women the UK’s first online network for women in tech, and #techmums, a social enterprise which empowers mums and their families through technology. Sue also appeared in the BBC Three documentary Girls Can Code, encouraging and mentoring young women into the tech industry, as well as being a special guest on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour discussing why she believes that mothers should move to understand their children’s interest in social media.

In addition to being the Daily Mirror tech agony aunt and regularly writing tech columns in The Guardian, Dr Sue Black is a passionate speaker, and has spoken at many events worldwide, including after dinner talks for the United Nations in New York and Geneva; Google London; various banks, consulates and embassies; as well as to corporate leadership teams, geeks, mums, students and even on a soapbox on the South Bank of the Thames for Soapbox Science. Sue was made an OBE in the New Year Honours list 2016 which was presented by HRH Prince Charles on May 20th 2016, and sits on the Government’s new advisory board for improving digital services.

Sue Black’s inspirational talk which offered tips on how to be more “techsavvy” went down a storm.
