Speaker: Quarina Sultana
Digital strategist. Accessibility advocate. Paper plane enthusiast.
Quarina Sultana is the founder of Q&Co — a digital consultancy on a mission to make digital feel more human, more inclusive, and a little less overwhelming.
With over a decade leading transformation across sectors like charity, legal, finance, and tech, she’s helped organisations untangle the digital mess and find clarity, confidence, and a whole lot more sparkle online.
Quarina is a sought-after speaker known for cutting through jargon, championing inclusive design, and bringing a fresh, grounded voice to conversations about digital leadership, AI, and accessibility. She’s led multi-million-pound digital overhauls, built high-performing teams, written AI policies, and lovingly rescued more than a few dodgy websites along the way.
Expect talks that are sharp, insightful, and refreshingly honest — with just enough quirk to keep you on your toes.
