Biography

Originally from London, Rob studied geography at Edinburgh University and did his teacher training at Oxford University before teaching geography in an Oxfordshire Secondary School for two years.

It was then, at the age of 27, that he set off on his 3-year Cycling Home From Siberia expedition in September 2004.

Upon completing Cycling Home From Siberia, Rob then lived in London for two and a half years, lecturing extensively, writing his first book (published by Hodder & Stoughton), and making a six-part TV series (with National Geographic Channel) about his bicycle expedition.

He also completed a theology diploma at Oxford University, and carried out two shorter expeditions, this time on foot: walking a lap of the M25, and walking through Israel and the West Bank.

Rob married Christine in 2009, and together they are now based in Hong Kong, where Rob continues with his speaking, writing and adventure career, as well as working as a fundraiser for the charity Viva that works with children at risk around the world.

His most recent expedition, the 5,000 km Walking Home From Mongolia expedition (on foot through Mongolia and China to Hong Kong), was completed in mid 2012. A book and TV series about the expedition will be released in 2013.

How do I book Rob Lilwall for my event?

Booking Rob Lilwall with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process:
  • Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available.
  • Hold Date: We place a temporary "hold" on the speaker's calendar while you finalize internal approval.
  • Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations.
  • Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

Partnering with Premiere Speakers Bureau provides a comprehensive safety net for your event that direct booking cannot match. You get the same speaker for the same price, but with a dedicated team with over 30 years of event experience handling contracts, logistics, and are prepared for any emergency. We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

What makes Premiere Speakers Bureau unique compared to other agencies?

Premiere Speakers Bureau distinguishes itself by having over 30 years of experience while partnering with more than 35,000 events. PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
