CHRISTOPHER LLOYD at PINC Sarasota 2014
Christopher Lloyd joined us on stage at PINC.
Sarasota in 2014. He had the idea to write about how the world started and where it is now. He made a wallbook out of it. He wants to trigger the natural curiosity of adults and children. At PINC hetold us in
20 minutes, on the bases of his wallbook, about the history of the world in a way you will never forget.
PINC stands for
People,
Ideas,
Nature, Creativity. These themes are the heartbeat of this unique conference held once a year in the
Netherlands since
1999. An inspiring cascade of new ideas, great stories, and impressive visual presentations delivered by a superb selection of national and international speakers from every imaginable discipline. PINC is a truly extraordinary event. An opportunity to recharge your personal and business batteries.
PINC usually features around 16 international speakers, who have little in common except that they have a passion for what they do and absolute faith in the power of innovation, inspiration and creativity. The presentations are larded with exceptional, visual, theatrical and artistic intermezzo’s.

Christopher Lloyd has pursued a broad career as a journalist and author, but also as a general manager in the education business.
Lloyd joined
The Sunday Times, where he started out as a trainee and became an award-winning science writer. In
1996, Lloyd launched the first internet edition of The Sunday Times and became its internet editor. Five years later, he was appointed chief executive officer of
Immersive Education, an education software publishing company based in
Oxford. After turning it into a highly profitable company, Lloyd decided to spend time traveling around
Europe with his wife and two children. These travels inspired him to write
What on Earth Happened?, a highly entertaining, comprehensive history of the world. Traversing millennia and continents, Lloyd explains exactly how the
Moorish conquest gave
Spain its paella, how the
Earth’s collision with another young planet created the moon, how dragonflies the size of seagulls emerged out of the prehistoric waters, and how the
Big Bang can be detected in your television. It has since been translated into 15 languages, most recently in
Japan where it has become a non-fiction best-seller, reaching sales of more than 150,
000 copies in the first year.The book, launched in 2008, became a bestseller, and was quickly followed by What on Earth Evolved?
100 Species that Changed the
World, which offers “an eye-opening insight into mankind’s place in nature, and our pivotal relationship with the Earth itself: past, present and future.”In
2010, Lloyd set up a publishing venture to pioneer new ways of telling global narratives using illustrated publications that can be read like conventional books or unfolded and stuck on a wall. The company’s first book, The What on Earth? Wallbook was followed by What on Earth? Wallbook of
Natural History, which tells the four-billion-years story of life on earth in 1,000 species on a timeline. Additional wallbooks include What on Earth? Wallbook of
Sport, among others.Lloyd now divides his time between writing, publishing and giving lectures throughout the UK and internationally to schools, universities, museums and literary festivals. He has lectured at
The Royal Institution,
The Royal Geographical Society,
The Natural History Museum, and abroad in the
United States,
Frankfurt,
Gibraltar,
Amsterdam and Japan.
