Each presentation's format and time span can be tailored specifically to your group's requirements. All sessions will include some specific information about Back2Front, though none will be a Back2Front sales pitch. Plenty of time should be allotted for questions since the presentations invariably invoke a lively response from the audience.

On the evening of October 23, 2007, East Toronto Chapter, Professional Engineers Ontario had the pleasure of hosting a seminar entitled "Get the most value from your Website - what you need and what to avoid." Candace was organized in her approach, thorough in her presentation and well versed in her subject manner. She maintained knowledge and aplomb in responding to the many questions that arose during her presentation, which queries ranged from the highly technical to the most basic. I highly commend this speaker and this company to audiences both professional and commercial.
