The World Famous Face of Tech

a speaker fizzing with energy 

Spencer Kelly is the BBC’s longest serving and most experienced technology presenter and journalist, and a keynote speaker at events across the globe.

He’s an internationally-known face of technology, hosting Click, the BBC’s worldwide technology TV programme, for more than 20 years. He also presents the BBC Radio 4 series Understand: Tech & AI, the tech section for BBC Morning Live, and has travelled the world, documenting how science and innovation is changing people’s lives in countries across the technology spectrum. 

Spencer studied Artificial Intelligence at Cambridge University, and now talks about the impact of the latest AI developments on businesses, and how to navigate the rapidly changing world of emerging tech.

His audiences love his passion, enthusiasm, and sense of humour, which he uses to bring technical topics to life, and explain complex subjects to a broad audience.

His life-long love affair with technology has allowed him to write, direct and present hundreds of short films, and seen him win Tech Personality of the Year, lose Celebrity Mastermind (by a whisker), be awarded an honorary doctorate of Technology, front Panorama and present at the BAFTAs.

Spencer has been a fixture on radio and international TV for more than 20 years, making programmes in countries across the technology spectrum. From playing a robot at ping-pong in Japan, to the life-changing impact of just one SIM card on the townships of South Africa, he has filmed in 360 at the Large Hadron Collider (it made him cry), underneath one of the Fukushima nuclear reactors, and walked on Mars with NASA. Kind of.
