the seminar

The seminar is the heart of Unlock your Future. The UYF Seminar is approximately an hour long and covers the entire program.  Brittany does not host her seminars independently, but rather works through high schools and conferences on an individual booking basis. Brittany often presents her seminar in the evening to a group of students, parents and teachers. She has presented across British Columbia to groups ranging in size from 20 to 500 and is comfortable in any setting. The Seminar package also includes the creation of digital promotional material for the event, a door prize and example materials for the guests to look through following the presentation.
