WELCOME

At the beginning of each presentation, you should welcome your audience. Depending on who you are addressing, you should extend a more or less formal welcome.

Examples

Good morning/afternoon/evening,

ladies and gentlemen/everyone.

On behalf of "Company X",

allow me to extend a warm welcome to you.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to "Name of the event".

INTRODUCING THE SPEAKER

The level of formality of your welcome address will also apply to how you introduce yourself. Customize it to match your audience.

Examples

Let me briefly introduce myself.

My name is "John Miller" and I am delighted to be here today to talk to you about...

First, let me introduce myself.

My name is "John Miller" and I am the "Position" of "Company X". Today I'd like to talk to you about...

I'm "John" from "Company Y"

and today I'd like to talk to you about...

INTRODUCING

THE TOPIC

After the welcome address and the introduction of the speaker comes the presentation of the topic.

Here are some useful introductory phrases.

about...

Examples
