Eliza Filby is a writer, speaker, and consultant with a focus on generational intelligence, offering valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of society, politics, and the workplace. Her expertise in generational shifts has been sought after by a diverse range of organisations, including VICE Media, Warner Brothers, and the UK Ministry of Defence. Eliza's journey began with a PhD in Contemporary British History from the University of Warwick, which laid the foundation for her academic and professional pursuits. She has taught at prestigious institutions such as King’s College London and the University of Renmin in China, sharing her knowledge on generational trends with students and professionals alike.

Topics, sessions and talks

The Gen Z You Never Hear About: Workers, Consumers, Citizens
Gen Z are no longer that young and nor are they all activists. They are certainly emerging with a different set of priorities from millennials from the rise of degree apprenticeships to #nannacore. Eliza Filby explores how you can get beyond the stereotypes and figure out the subgroups within Gen Z, and what they are expecting from brands.
How to Manage a Multi-Generational Workforce in the Hybrid Age
We have four generations in the workplace whose values, expectations and understandings of work vary hugely. As we shift to hybrid working - how can you cater to their different needs, wants and aspirations? How can you ensure age diversity is tackled and practical steps are taken to address this challenge within your organisation? Sharing from the best organisations in the world, Eliza Filby's message is rooted in practical application.
How are the Different Generations Consuming in the 2020's
How are people’s spending priorities changing in the 2020s in the perma-crisis age? Eliza Filby takes the audience through the ways in which different generations are buying from Gen Z’s attitude towards DINK cohab-housing to Baby Boomers expenditure on private healthcare and beauty prodicts. The 2020s are forcing us to prioritise our money in different ways from slow living to climate concern. Consumers are becoming increasingly multi-generational in their spending habits too: what does this mean for brands and services seeking to appeal to a specific or broad demographic?
Generation Alpha and Millennial Parents
For so long society’s disruptors, millennials are now the anxious parents raising the next generation: Gen Alpha. Eliza Filby takes a closer look at the drivers of modern parenting from sling-dads to childcare costs, from Boomer grandparent money to the smartphone free childhood movement, from natural products to outdoor learning. Learn what we know about Gen Alpha - from voice activation to child obesity, from the legacy of Covid to the use of ChatGPT in school - to understand the unique dynamics of this new generation and how it affects our parenting.
The Future of the Family and the Great Wealth Transfer
Families have never been so economically entwined and yet families have never been so complicated. The Great Wealth Transfer will see unprecendented sums transfer across the generations but the fact is it’s already started in the form of gifts. Parents have never invested so much in their children from education to house deposits. Families think as families and so must advisors. Eliza Filby explores how advisors can engage with the whole family beyond the Baby Boomer male breadwinner and ensure that all generations are served.

Testimonials

It was a pleasure having Eliza back for a second event due to how well her insights resonated with our senior talent audience. Eliza brings a wealth of insight in her talks and deep understanding of how different industries and functions work, as well as the challenges they face. She also has a great ability to engage with the audience, keep them energised and inspire them to think differently.

Eliza was a breath of fresh air and received the highest feedback scores across all our events. She was extremely engaging and delivered a high energy keynote which got everyone thinking differently about Millennials.

James Goad

Joint Managing Director, Owen James Events

Eliza's was a simply exceptional contribution to our recent conference. Insightful, inspiring, surprising, and occasionally (appropriately!) provocative – her analysis of Generational change, and what it means for a function like ours thinking about engaging our audiences, was just brilliant. My people were blown away, and are still talking about elements of what they learnt, and its application in their work, weeks after.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
