Feedback
Ian captivated the audience through his great mannerism delivering an appropriate speech to the audience. Time flew by and many people would have listened to him much longer. He had supurb knowledge of the subject at hand. Great Speaker.
Obviously knew the subject matter very well but also connected with the audience very well.
