How to Write a Webinar Script [+ Template]

Whether or not you enjoy public speaking, I’d bet you don’t like hopping on stage without preparing for a speech or keynote address.

Running through slides, practicing in front of a mirror, or pre-writing a script — whatever type of preparation you prefer, it’s key to calming nerves and delivering an engaging, valuable presentation .

The same goes for a webinar. You and your panelists may be at home and behind a screen, but that doesn’t mean webinars are any less important to prepare for (or that they can be any less nerve-wracking).

To help your preparation and quell your nerves, consider writing a webinar script.

Not only will this guarantee your webinar presenters and panelists stay on topic, but it will also ensure you deliver a relevant, actionable webinar  that doesn’t waste your audience's time.

What is a webinar script?

A webinar script is a pre-written dialogue of what you plan to share and teach during your webinar. At a minimum, your webinar script should include an introduction, an agenda of what you and your panelists plan to discuss, the specific points that your panelists will cover, and a closing call-to-action .

Webinar scripts can also include timing details (to ensure your guests don’t veer off course or take time from another presenter), navigational instructions (such as when to share a screen, direct attendees to a certain website, or at what point certain panelists may join or drop off), and certain terms or discussion points to avoid.

Why write a webinar script?

Webinar scripts are valuable because they help keep your webinar valuable . Without proper planning, it’s easy to lose your train of thought due to nervousness, excitement, or perhaps an audience question.

Writing a script for your webinar ahead of time also allows you to decide on the goal of your webinar. Think:

  • What do you want your audience to learn?
  • Who do you want to invite to speak that would help teach your audience?
  • What actions do you want your audience to take during and after your webinar?

By answering these questions before your webinar (and before you write the script), you can tailor your webinar script and angle its speakers and content to stay focused on these deliverables. You can also share your webinar script with your speakers so they have an idea of the presentation flow.

Let’s say I was teaching a webinar on content marketing. There are so many topics and stories I could share — from freelance writing to building a strategy  to SEO- vs. non-SEO-driven content.

If I sat down to write my webinar content ahead of time, I’d be forced to face how vast (and ambiguous) just “content marketing” is as a topic. Writing the script would require me to hone the purpose and goal of my webinar, which would then inspire my guest panel and subsequent CTA.

Webinar scripts keep your webinar focused, confident, and audience-centric. Finally, webinar scripts can inspire much of your webinar marketing , saving you significant work for writing up emails, social media copy, and promotional blog posts.

How to Write a Webinar Script

In this section, we’ll talk about what to consider when writing your script. I’ll also touch on when you should certainly use a script, and when a webinar script may be more limiting than liberating .

First, open a blank Google Doc or pull out a fresh notebook. Jot down why you want to run a webinar , what some main points or takeaways you want to feature, and any other ideas you may have. You may see a flow begin to form — what points you’ll open with, how to support your takeaways with panelists or research, and where they may be some gaps you can fill with further brainstorming. Consider this your webinar script “outline.”

(I encourage you to do this in a Google Doc versus slide deck as a slide deck will force you to parse up and order your ideas before you’re ready, which can interfere with the brainstorming process.)

Once you have a script outline, you’re ready to start fleshing out the script. Yes , I mean writing verbatim what you plan to say and what points you want to cover—your webinar talk track. If you’ll have panelists on your webinar, encourage them to do the same as it pertains to their sections.

While you can’t script the Q&A section, writing your webinar content ahead of time also allows you to understand what you plan to cover from start to finish. Therefore, if an audience member asks a question about a topic you know you or a guest speaker will be covering later on, you can ask them to wait versus derailing the presentation.

Now, let’s unpack the important components of a webinar script.

1. Webinar Introduction

The webinar introduction sets the stage (albeit digital) for your whole presentation. The introduction script should include a brief introduction of yourself and your business, explain why you’re equipped to teach, and touch on the webinar agenda — including what speakers your audience can expect to see.

Be sure you thank your audience in the introduction, too. If you plan to ask for audience engagement through polls or the webinar chat feature, make note of that for your attendees and briefly explain how they can participate if they so choose.

2. Webinar Agenda

You might’ve touched on the webinar agenda in your introduction, but this section is your chance to explain more of what your audience members will see and learn. You can break up your webinar into sections (e.g., What, Why, How, etc.) or, if you have guest speakers, outline what your speakers will be discussing.

This is also where you can mention how long each section and/or presentation will take, as well as how much time will be left at the end for questions. As I mentioned before, the goal of your webinar script is to keep your presentation on track and avoid wasting your audience’s time — a webinar agenda will do just that.

3. Webinar Goal and Purpose

Next, feature a section that discusses the “why” of your webinar. Perhaps you have a single, punchy sentence that will grab the attention of your audience. Or, you may choose to feature a bulleted list of ways your audience will benefit from the webinar.

However you choose to present your webinar goal or purpose, be sure to script supporting content to discuss during the section or slide. Don’t forget to mention what your audience can expect after  the webinar, too, be it a CTA or bonus for attending.

4. Webinar Educational Content

For your webinar, you may be bringing in panelists, or you may be presenting the webinar alone

If the former applies to your webinar, ask your panelists to script their sections ahead of time and send them over for your review. (You can also provide one of the recommended templates below or share your script as an example.)

If the latter applies, this section is the crux of your webinar script. It contains the valuable, educational information that your audience likely signed up to see . According to how you organized your presentation in the agenda section, develop the talk track for each section — down to the transitions. If you plan to include imagery, engage your audience, or share your screen to demonstrate a concept , make note of these actions in your script.

Don’t forget to incorporate stories and examples in your webinar lessons, as these will help your audience relate your concepts and takeaways to real-life scenarios. If you don’t want your anecdotes to feel too scripted or forced, perhaps make a note where you will tell that story (instead of writing it out word-for-word). This is an example of where a script can limit you.

Tip : If you’ve written blog content about your webinar topic, consider pulling in some of that content and reworking it to fit your lessons and main takeaways.

5. Webinar Conclusion and Q&A

The conclusion to your webinar is crucial; it helps anchor your lessons for your audience and recaps important takeaways. You can also script an engagement activity, such as a short concept quiz or brief feedback session when your attendees can share something new they learned.

This section serves as the TL;DR, so the script should be short and concise, too. After you’ve recapped your presentation, open the floor for questions.

6. Webinar Next Steps and Close

After you and/or your speakers have shared your webinar content and answered any questions, it’s time to wrap up. First, script your closing comments — thanking the audience and sharing any important contact or follow up information.

Then, share the next steps. What would you like your audience to do now that they’ve attended your webinar? Close the webinar presentation with a strong call-to-action and concise instructions on how your audience can follow suit.

Congratulations! You just wrote a webinar script. Now, I have a few final tips for you:

  • Write your script as you talk, in a conversational tone and with everyday language. It helps to write the script with full sentences so you don’t get lost in a sea of bullet points or fragmented sentences.
  • Practice your script from top to bottom, verbatim. Time yourself to see if the script is too long. Ask your presenters to do the same with their scripts.
  • Only when you’ve read your script aloud a few times through should you begin to design your webinar slides. Don’t copy and paste your script to your slides; use the script to inspire important bullets and talking points.

Above, I encouraged you to start with a blank Doc or notebook as a starting point for your webinar script. If you need some help organizing your thoughts and ideas, consider using the following webinar script template as a starting point.

Webinar Script Template

This template serves as an example webinar script — not one to copy and plug the appropriate details. Even if you use this as a starting point, I encourage you to personalize the content to match your presentation, speakers, and audience.

Tips for effective webinar welcome speech

Many of you are struggling to begin your webinars attractively through welcome speech since you have witnessed the exit of many attendees, causing the attendance rates to drop off. The key here is a hooked webinar welcome speech, which encourages attendees to be engaged and glued to the end. Principles for such a speech include.

  • Succinctness
  • Detachment from the script
  • Reasons why your webinar is essential to them

You might wonder how, and this article will show you ways to realize these principles.

Main Content

5 steps for an attractive welcome speech

1. Greeting and Thanks

Greeting and Thanks

Of course, before talking, you need to greet your customers. “ Hello and welcome ” is a friendly saying that is short and friendly enough to pique everyone’s attention. You can play around with a few different greetings, but make sure to keep it short and simple.

Then, right away, thank participants for their time – don’t wait till the end. By expressing gratitude, you can ensure that they feel valued. “ Thank you for taking the time to enter this webinar today, ” for example, can appeal to the clients. 

2. Keep forwards with the topic

Keep forwards with the topic

After saying thank your viewers, quickly recap the topic so you can explain why they should attend the webinar

It’s also time for you to share a cheat sheet, workbook, or template. Freebies are a great way to get people’s attention. To pique people’s interest, call your free data or platform a “surprise.” Below is the example of engaging webinar welcome speech: 

“We’ll go over X so you can understand…” We also have a free gift in store for you after the session ends, so stay connected to find out more.”

For instance: “In this training course, we’ll discuss 6 secret copywriting tips so you can write good, high-converting ads. You’ll feel absurdly confident about making revenue from ads by the end. You can even start right now with our free astonishment at the end – stay connected to discover what it is”

It’s worth noting that these three lines are entirely focused on the webinar participant, with very little mention of the webinar host, since this is how you bring the sense of being respected to others.

Pro tip: Take advantage of powerful words, like “free,” “secret,” “high-converting,” “ridiculously,” and “surprise.”

Furthermore, because the word “presentation” sounds too formal and “webinar” is overused, naming your webinar a “masterclass” or “seminar” will pique your attention of the participants even more.

3. Take care of housekeeping thoroughly but quickly

By announcing the topic, you are assisting in the establishment of some perceptions. Now you must explain how people can take part by emphasizing how they can interact with you. This is the time to announce polls and other attendee interaction attributes you’ve scheduled. For example:

“We have a chatbox to receive your questions on the [topic] so that you can understand it best. We also hold  We’ll have [share interaction tactics like polls] as well.”

These are several suggestions for you to realize this rule:

  • Tell them exactly where the chatbox is (for example, “on the right of the screen is a…”).
  • Demonstrate an annotated screen capture with the chatbox circled in red so that people can find it on their own computer monitors.
  • Explain how people can participate and when you’ll reply at this point:

“Feel comfortable to give questions or share your difficulties and perspectives on the subject.” We’ll respond to your queries by the end of each customer session, and the moderator will gather the most popular questions so we can respond to them at the conclusion of the speech.”

And, continue to offer assistance, like: “If you have any further questions, please ask them in the chatbox below)”.

Pro tip: Now is a good time to mention whether or not the masterclass recording will be possible later. If you intend to share the lecture deck or materials, make sure to let participants know ways to get and use them. 

4. Tell about your speakers

Tell about your speakers

You should introduce your speakers a little bit at the beginning of your seminar. Obviously, attendees want to know who is speaking, so, do this.

It should be remembered that you arrange your introduction. That is, introduce your speakers at the start and then share about the knowledge you want to present at the webinar. However, it depends on your roles – whether you are the main speaker, host, or moderator, you will have an appropriate introduction.

A good tip for an attractive introduction is to add storytelling – but, keep it short. Try the following formula for effective introduction:

  • By posing a question or communicating difficult situations, you can pique the interest of your audience.
  • Build on the battle to tug at the emotions.
  • Finish with how you fixed the problem (including the outcomes you achieved) or some noteworthy quick, snappy insights.

Then, it is time for you to introduce your guests. Provide overall information about them to the participants, including name, background, and experience. For the experience, consider sharing the notable achievements they have gained to your attendees. Also, practice the talk before the webinar to have a natural introduction.

For instance: “Laura has written advertisements that have resulted in X dollars in sales for her clients. “This demonstrates why a guest is the perfect person to learn from on the subject.

Pro tip: Don’t take too long introducing guests and saying thank to sponsors, as this can be off-putting. Pick details from their expertise that are meaningful to the webinar topic rather than reciting the complete history.

5. Repeat the value of the webinar and start

After completing the four rules above, repeat the purpose and the main content of the webinar to refresh your speech and attract those who are late.

However, still keep it short, and then start to discuss the content.

For example: “Our speakers today will teach you how to live stream like a pro, so you’ll have much confidence and in control the next time you do a live session.”

Then indicate three topics you’ll cover, but keep it short so participants don’t forget what you’ll be talking about.

Frequent Questions and Answers

How can you begin your webinar speech?

How can you write a webinar script?

Make a preliminary summary of everything you want to talk about during your webinar. The webinar welcome speech, showcasing what guests will contain, and figuring out the action step (CTA) that you wish participants to take after viewing the webinar are all important areas to concentrate on.

How can you end a webinar?

End a webinar presentation by distributing free gifts (if applicable) and emphasizing the next step that attendees must take. It’s also ideal to tell participants that you’re looking forward to their achievement with the webinar’s topic.

  • Acknowledgement of special guests, if there are any.
  • An introduction of the event itself and a brief overview of special highlights the audience will want to know about.
  • Any important housekeeping information, for instance: where the bathrooms are, where lunch will be served and when...
  • An introduction for the next speaker, if there is one.
  • Thanking everyone for coming once more and then concluding having made everybody feel at ease, eagerly anticipating what is to come.

Short sample welcome speech for a conference 

Now let's put all six ingredients into an example of a short welcome speech to open a conference that you can adapt for your own speech.

* (This speech is pure fiction! I made it up to show you how it's done. You'll see its tone is formal rather than informal to fit the occasion. I don't think there is a group called Parents United. However, there are others with a similar mission: 10 Inspiring Organizations that Promote Literacy and Education .)  

Example welcome speech - "Readers by Right"

"Sue-Ellen Thomas, Jim Smith, Jane Brown and all of our guests, good morning!

My name is April Molloy, and it's my privilege and great pleasure on behalf of Parents United to welcome you all here today.

We are delighted to have you with us to participate and share in this special occasion, our 5th annual Children's Day Conference. Thank you for coming. That many of you have willingly traveled long distances to be here serves as a reminder to us all just how important our work is.

Quote extract: We want all children, regardless of race, creed or circumstance to achieve their full potential.

Parents United is committed to actively raising the quality of life for every child. We want all children, regardless of race, creed or circumstance to achieve their full potential. Our task is to make it possible. Our mission is to provide practical, step by step assistance.

This year our theme is literacy. We've named the day 'Readers by Right'.

Thanks to the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we are aware of 'rights' in many spheres, including education.  Article 26 declared it should be compulsory and free for children.

That goal is as pertinent today as it was then. And it's a goal I know we all share - the full development of every child. As a body, Parents United recognizes good reading skills established in childhood as the foundation of fulfilling, and ongoing education.

Quote extract: Jim and Jane bring their passion and knowledge of how to reach those in our communities who are frequently overlooked or bypassed.

We are honored to have Sue-Ellen Thomas, Jim Smith and Jane Brown with us today. All three are esteemed specialists in teaching young children to read.

Sue-Ellen has worked for a long time with educational authorities to establish programs putting in place necessary pre-reading skills. Her hard work needs no introduction. The results speak for themselves.

Jim and Jane bring their passion, and knowledge of how to reach those in our communities who are frequently overlooked or bypassed. Their work among disadvantaged English-as-a-second-language families has bridged gaps that were deep dark chasms.

Prepare yourself to be challenged, excited and inspired.

And before I handover to Lesley Watts, our coordinator for 'Readers by Right', who will outline the day's various events, I want to say once more on behalf of the Parents United organizing committee, welcome. It's wonderful to see so many of you here."

Writing your welcome speech

Tips to help you get your speech right.

When you're entering information into your speech planner:

  • ensure you've got all the names of individuals or special guests you need to mention specifically and, that you know how to pronounce each of them. Also check that you know and use their preferred pronouns: them/they, she/her, he/him...
  • double check the remarks you're going to make about them, or anything else, are factually correct.

Use your introduction of your guests/or the event, as a "teaser" for what is going to come. It will help create anticipation in the audience. Don't ruin it by giving too much away! Just enough to tempt and no more.

Keep it brief. One to two minutes is generally sufficient.

(The word count of my sample welcome speech is 357. It will take approximately 2 minutes to say .) 

Use the S-S-S formula for success: Short, Simple and Sincere. Your listeners will appreciate it.

If you're stuck for words, here's a large selection of  adaptable welcoming phrases with example s entences.  Reading through them could help you to find exactly what you want.

What does a good welcome speech do?

Audience members listening intently.

An effective welcome speech has three important functions. It:

  • signals the official beginning of an event . It says to the audience, hush, sit down, stop talking and listen. What you came for is starting!
  • sets the tone for the occasion through the choice of language used . For example, using light-hearted and informal words to welcome guests to a dear friend's birthday party may be completely appropriate.  However, the same type of language to welcome family and friends to a memorial service is unlikely to be. In that setting, people generally expect a more solemn and formal word choice. They could be deeply offended and think the use of casual language is disrespectful.  Understanding and getting tone right is a key element in the overall success of your welcome speech.  
  • unites the audience . It draws everyone together in the common purpose at the heart of the occasion. For example, at a birthday party, the welcome speech invites everyone to join in celebrating the person whose birthday it is. The welcome speech opening a specialist conference will affirm its principal purpose: the coming together of people with mutual interests to meet and share new knowledge. Or if a welcome speech is given to newcomers in a workplace, club or educational setting, its purpose is to give an introductory overview of how things work to help them feel more at ease in their new situation - to help them develop a sense of belonging.

Getting the tone right for an event

What is tone.

Tone is the combined impact of the words chosen to express something, with how they are structured and, delivered.  All three elements come together to create tone * . 

Get tone wrong, and your welcome speech is a disaster.

Get it right, and it's a triumph!

(Yes, that's hyperbole but I'm sure you get the idea. ☺)

* Tone - a mood, quality or feeling

How to choose the right words

The beginning of getting tone right is to think about your audience and the event itself. Your goal is to unite and bring them together in the main purpose at the core of the occasion. What type of language will do that most appropriately and easily?

Infographic illustrating the principal differences between formal and informal language to create tone

To answer that question, think about the common interest everybody shares - the principal reason behind them getting together.  It will help guide your language choice.

Is it a fun event like a birthday party for close friends and family? If so, then informal language is likely to be the most apt.

You might hear something along the lines of: "Well, here we all are! The big day has finally arrived. Jean-Marie is 50! Half a century! How on earth did that happen?"

If it's a remembrance service for someone who has recently died, the language you're likely to hear is more formal.

For example: "Friends, family, colleagues, thank you for joining us today to celebrate and give thanks for our dear Jean-Marie. Your presence is gratefully appreciated." 

What is appropriate? What is expected?  Do spend some time thinking tone through. Misunderstanding and getting it wrong can be very embarrassing for everyone. If in doubt, ask someone whose opinion you trust.

Are you on welcome speech duty for an upcoming program or event? You’ve got nothing to worry about—with the right format and tone, it’s super easy to write and present a welcome speech for just about any occasion. We’ve outlined everything you need to know, from your opening greetings and acknowledgments, to establishing the right tone and nailing your closing remarks. You’ve got this in the bag!

Greeting the Audience

Step 1 Welcome the audience using serious language for a formal occasion.

  • Keep the tone more serious if it's an important occasion. Use more formal language and don't crack any inappropriate jokes. For example, at a wake, you might say, "We're so glad to have you all here tonight. We appreciate your presence at this difficult time."

Step 2 Greet guests informally by using light-hearted language.

  • For an event with close friends and family, more informal language might be appropriate. Include a few jokes and keep your speech more lighthearted.

Grab your audience's attention with a strong opening. Start with a loud voice and a strong presence that welcomes everyone and gets them involved. Ask a question they can respond to or tell a joke — anything to connect with the audience. Do something that grabs their attention and excites them and makes them thrilled about the event.

Step 3 Add individual greetings for any special guests.

  • Special guests include any people of honor, those that may play a particularly important part in the event, or those who have traveled a long way to be there.
  • Make sure that you practice all of names, titles, and pronunciations of the special guests before your speech.
  • For example you could say, "We'd like to extend a special welcome to our guest of honor, Judge McHenry, who will be speaking later tonight."
  • Alternatively to welcome a group of people you might say, "While we're excited to have you all here tonight, we'd especially like to say welcome to the students from Johnson Middle School."

Step 4 Introduce the event itself.

  • For an informal event such as a birthday party, you could say, "We're so happy to have you here tonight to eat, drink, and celebrate another year of Jessica's life. Now, let's get to it."
  • For a more formal event such as one run by an organisation, you could say, “We are so excited to have you all here to participate in our 10th annual pet’s day, organised by the Animal Rescue Group.”

Forming the Body of the Speech

Step 1 Acknowledge those who have played an important part in the event.

  • An example of acknowledging individual people is saying, “We couldn’t have pulled off this fundraiser without the hard work and dedication of Grace and Sally, who worked tirelessly from day 1 to make today a reality.”
  • Avoid reading off a long list of people or sponsors, as your audience will begin to get bored. Stick to just a handful of highlights.

Step 2 Mention any parts of the event that are of special importance.

  • For instance, at a conference, you might point out when the dinner will be held, or where particular sessions will take place.
  • At a wedding reception, you might note when dancing will start or when the cake will be served.

Step 3 Reiterate your welcoming line.

  • Alternatively, you could end the body of your speech during an informal gathering by saying, “I can't wait to see you all out on the dancefloor!”

Ending the Speech

Step 1 Say that you hope the audience enjoys the event, if applicable.

  • You could also say that you hope that the audience takes something away from the event. For example, “I hope that today inspires ideas and discussions around the ways that we can make our city a better place!”

Step 2 Introduce the next speaker if necessary.

  • At a formal event, you might say, "Now, for our speaker. Rebecca Roberts comes here from Montreal, Canada, and she is a leading expert in the study of the human brain. She'll be speaking tonight on what drives humans to make decisions. Let's welcome her."
  • For a more informal event such as a party, you could say, “Next up is Sam, who has been Kyle’s best friend for 10 years strong. He has a decade of embarrassing stories about Kyle to share with us tonight!"

Step 3 Thank the audience for attending.

  • Alternatively you might say, “Thank you again to everyone for being here tonight to celebrate Joe and Kathleen’s 50th wedding anniversary! Let the celebrations begin!”

Step 4 Keep your speech within a suitable time limit.

  • If you are unsure, ask the organiser or host what an appropriate length of time for your speech will be.

About This Article

Patrick Muñoz

To write a welcome speech, start with a greeting to your audience that’s appropriate to the situation. For example, you could try “Good evening ladies and gentlemen” if you’re introducing a formal event, or “Thank you everyone for coming on this sunny day” for a more relaxed occasion. After you’ve finished the greeting, introduce the event by talking about who organized it and what its purpose is. In the main body of your speech, acknowledge 2 or 3 people who played important parts in organizing the event. You should also emphasize special parts of the event that people should pay attention to, such as where dinner will be or where a conference session will take place. When you’re ready to conclude your speech, tell the audience to enjoy the event by saying something like “I hope you all enjoy the exciting speakers to come.” Finish your speech by thanking the audience for attending.

7 Welcome Templates To Use For Your Upcoming Webinar

Welcome your guests in style with amazing webinar invite.

Webinars are an excellent way to connect with your target audience while promoting your company. When a person decides to attend an upcoming webinar , marketers like you are eager to roll out the red carpet and make them feel welcomed and excited about your event. 

Registrants have committed to your event because they were drawn in by your initial marketing. This is an excellent opportunity to capitalize on those positive feelings by launching a welcome email campaign. 

Email marketing is essential because it nurtures a feeling of trust that anchors a strong customer relationship. They boost engagement and predict long-term subscriber behavior, as well as revenue potential.

A webinar invitation email will get the ball rolling, but welcome emails will keep your audience interested. 

When faced with a blank screen, writer’s block can quickly take over. Making a good first impression is essential, and you have limited space to make your event attendees feel welcomed while communicating important information about your upcoming webinar.

Check out what to put in your webinar invitation email to encourage attendance and seven welcome templates with everything you need to nurture relationships with your webinar attendees. 

What Should I Include In Each Webinar Welcome Email?

Your webinar welcome emails are among the first impressions your registrants have of your webinar. Each email should include key information that leaves little to question. 

Here is what you’ll want to ensure is included in your webinar email sequence: 

A Strong Subject Line: This is the first step to attract the invitee to open your email and choose to attend your webinar. 

Webinar Title: Clearly state the name and purpose of your webinar. Remember to include the date and time towards the top. 

Introductions: Use positive language to introduce your company, any professional speakers or exhibitors, and yourself. Advertise the webinar topic.  

Webinar Objectives: Tell your audience what key takeaways they will gain by attending your webinar. Communicate important information. 

Webinar Registration Information: Provide clear instructions and an action button to direct potential attendees to your event landing page. Use CTA phrases like “Register Now.” 

Social Media Accounts: Place links to all social media accounts related to your webinar and company at the bottom of the email for easy following. 

Webinar welcome email designs should align with your event theme and mission. A properly planned email schedule will enhance your marketing campaign and increase your webinar conversion rate.

  • Hey, everyone! Great to see so many shining faces in the room, especially for the early hour! Apologies for calling this meeting on such short notice. We have some significant announcements to make, so we will get right to it.
  • Hi, team. Thank you for making an effort to be here today. Some serious developments occurred over the weekend, and we wanted to inform you of the details before you heard any worrisome rumors. Here is everything we can tell you so far.
  • Hello, all! Glad you could make it on such short notice. We have some exciting news to share, and we just could not wait to spill the beans! Rather than wasting any time, we can get right to the good stuff.
  • Good afternoon. Thanks for making time to be here today. As you know, we hit some important milestones this week. We thought sharing the success and discussing what comes next would be helpful. Away we go!
  • Greetings, everybody! Here we are at another super exciting monthly meeting, our chance to share the highs and lows we all have been through since the last time we met. Would anyone like to get things started for us?
  • Well, hey there! It has been a long time since our last meeting. We have all been quite busy, as you know. We have a lot to catch up on, so how about we jump right in and get started?

Opening remarks for a virtual meeting

  • Good morning to everyone on our video call today. We have participants joining today from locations all over the world. Before we get started, we would like to take a moment to share our appreciation for everyone lining up their schedules across the time zones in this way. We understand how difficult it was to coordinate this meeting so all major stakeholders could attend. We promise to make it worth your while. If anyone on the call knows of a colleague who cannot attend, please feel free to share our discussion with them when you can. You should have a meeting deck in your email to help you follow along. Feel free to open it, and we will get started.
  • Cyberteam: Assemble! Cheers to our remote crew, tuning in from the various workspaces around town and throughout the country. It is truly incredible that technology allows us to get together, even if only in digital form. You may have heard about some developments across several departments. We will address those topics and field any questions or concerns you may have. We will also discuss future developments in as much detail as possible. Much of what we will cover is still in the works, so we do not have as much information for you as we would like. However, we promise to do our best to get you up to speed and keep you informed as we learn more.
  • Good afternoon, team. You may have seen the email announcing our new project calendar. This timeline includes tasks spanning multiple teams, so we have a coordinated effort. We wanted to get everyone on a call to brainstorm ways to approach our rollout of various tasks. Depending on the needs, you may find your name on multiple lists, or you may not appear on any lists. Our hope is to distribute the work as fairly as possible among the team to minimize potential overload. Because you are the players involved, we want you to have a say in how we assemble the list.
  • Hello, everyone. Thank you for firing up your cameras and getting online this morning. We have a few special announcements to go over as well as updates on items we left in limbo during our last meeting. We also have a special guest joining us today. This guest speaker has information about making the most of your remote work experience. I know we have discussed workplace wellness in the past, and I thought we should hear from an expert on the subject. They will hop on for the last 30 minutes, which gives us the first 30 minutes to cover everything else. I will dive right in so we can have time for Q&A before our guest appears.
  • Hey, crew! We have gotten away from our meeting schedule as of late, and for a good reason. Great job on catching up on the backlog! Now that we are ahead of the curve again, I would like us to pick back up on our semi-monthly schedule to stay informed in a more unified setting. I think it is also a good idea for us to see one another’s shining faces every so often so we can remember what we all look like! More sincerely, our remote team needs face-to-face interaction, which is what these meetings are all about. I will put new items on our calendars to keep us on track through the end of the year.

Chairman opening remarks in a meeting

  • I am pleased to be speaking to all of you today. As the leader of this board, it is my duty to bring us together when necessary. This task can be challenging, considering our other obligations. I would like us to take this opportunity to review developments that occurred since our last meeting and cover several lingering action items.
  • Good morning, fellow board members. It is a privilege to address you all this afternoon for such a fortunate occasion. It is not often that the board has the opportunity to honor the accomplishments of its own members. Today, we will celebrate the successes of a long-standing trustee who has reached the pinnacle of personal and professional achievement. Before we start, please join me in welcoming our esteemed member with a round of applause.
  • Thank you all for attending. As chairman, I would like to begin this meeting by reviewing the minutes from our last session before covering our new agenda. You all know how quickly the new corporate strategy is unfolding. We have a growing list of issues to address, so we should get started.
  • I would like to extend a warm welcome to all in attendance today. As your newly appointed chairman, I think it best to begin this meeting by introducing myself and explaining my background before having each member do the same. Once introductions are complete, we will review the charter and attend to any new business.

Opening remarks for a seminar

  • Welcome, everyone, and thank you for being with us today. For those who may not know, this seminar is our opportunity to share our latest developments and explain how this progress will lead us into our next phase. We have laid out a roadmap that puts us on solid footing the whole way through. We are eager to share the details and get your input on what improvements we can make. As key stakeholders in the business, your viewpoints count as much as anyone on the team. We hope you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts.
  • There are few moments in which our group can assemble for a subject as important as improving our culture. We feel the need is critical enough to halt operations and bring us all together. This company remains dedicated to the well-being of every employee, but dedication means nothing without action. We have created a seminar-style meeting that presents information intended to help make the most of your experience in the workplace. This is your space, after all, and we will do all we can to create an enriching culture for all of us.
  • I can think of few workplace developments less stressful than learning new software. Unfortunately, we have outgrown our old platform and have no choice but to move to a bigger and better model. After a great deal of deliberation, we have chosen a package that will make your current work much easier while also accommodating future growth. To get a head start on learning, we have put together this seminar with a representative from the software company. This speaker will provide an overview of the system and its functions before going into detail about how each feature fits in with our current system. Please feel free to ask questions and share your insight as we proceed.

Sample closing remarks for a meeting

  • We have covered a lot of material in a short time. If you need more details, you can schedule one-on-one time with your supervisors, who will have additional information shortly. Please write down any questions that arise so you can get answers and feel settled about our next steps.
  • I hope you enjoyed our brainstorming session. We are off to a great start and should have a great second meeting. I will add an item to the calendar to continue with our planning phase. If everyone will kindly send me their notes, then I will create a master folder we can all access. I will also email today’s meeting minutes out so we can create a living document as we go. More to come!
  • As you can understand, this meeting is only a first step. We will continue business as usual until we receive further word about new developments. Once we know more about the acquisition, we will put together another meeting for updates. You may have questions and concerns before then, which you may discuss with your manager, of course. To avoid creating unnecessary anxiety, we would ask that you refrain from speculating on details we have yet to disclose. I appreciate your cooperation.
  • I hope you can all agree that it is important for our team to spend quality time together outside of our usual tasks. These team building meetings are a perfect forum for showing off other sides of our personalities and connecting in fun and exciting ways. This meeting is the first of many! To ensure everyone feels a sense of ownership, I would like you all to send me your ideas for events we can include in future meetings. If you know of any games or icebreaker activities we should include, please send me a note or drop by my office to chat. The more input we have, the better variety of activities we can draw from.

Opening remarks at Webinar on Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs and recovery from COVID-19

Distinguished Participants,Ladies and Gentlemen,My dear friends of science, technology and innovation, I am pleased to welcome you to the webinar on Science, Technology and Innovation – or STI – for the Sustainable Development Goals and recovery from COVID-19. This is part of a series of online consultations on STI for SDGs and COVID-19. It aims at providing key inputs to the review of the SDGs at the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF). In this virtual conference room, I recognize some familiar names of participants from governments, the private sector and major groups. You have all worked tirelessly on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. I am sure we are also reaching out to many new STI friends - practitioners, technologists, innovators, business professionals and civil society representatives. A warm welcome to you all.Dear colleagues, We all understand the importance of science, technology and innovation in our day-to-day lives and the ways in which they are transforming the world. If this was not clear earlier, it is blindingly obvious now in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Science, technology and innovation are indispensable for our response to, and recovery from, this crisis. Equally important is our collaboration in this great effort. Our experience with STI for the SDGs has convinced us that it is only through multi-stakeholder and multi-lateral cooperation that we can truly accelerate progress and reduce inequalities. Yet, while critically important, STI alone won’t help us achieve the SDGs and recovery from COVID-19.Equally important are deployment of scientific inventions, innovations and technological solutions on a scale that will reach their target audience. And this is not just another scientific task. It is where policymakers, entrepreneurs, business people, financiers, diplomats and civil society come together in partnership.Distinguished participants, The President of ECOSOC invited all interested policy makers, scientists, engineers, innovators, entrepreneurs and organized science communities, to engage in online consultations in preparation for the STI components of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, next month. In this context, this webinar will discuss:• improving the impact of STI on the SDGs;• universal access and use of vaccines;• technology solutions and innovations for COVID-19 recovery and the SDGs, and• other exciting STI initiatives. This is an important agenda, but also a vast one, and the time available to us is limited. But we have also heard from you through your responses to our on-line survey. Your inputs are much appreciated. Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe that by participating in this webinar, we are in the right place and the right time. Together let us accelerate the exchange of ideas and scaling-up of good practices. I am especially pleased that the discussions and activities here will inform the High-Level Political Forum in July. I encourage all of you to attend the STI session in the HLPF, which will take place on 10 July, and related STI side events. I am confident that you will find new ideas, fresh energy and novel partnerships to sustain your efforts in support of the SDGs and recovery from COVID-19, through science, technology and innovation. I wish you all a very successful webinar. Thank you. File date:  Wednesday, 六月 10, 2020 Author:  Mr. Liu

Welcome Speech on Annual Day Function in College and School for Guests

We warmly welcome everyone – outstanding guests, correspondents, teachers, and dear friends and parents of such great and talented children. Finally, the auspicious day has come; put an end to our inpatient anticipation and tireless preparations for this event.

I am a little surprised how a person like me, who loved every aspect of this stage, but so hesitant to come here and talk, now has the courage. With great pleasure and satisfaction, I stand here to give a welcome speech on our most expected annual day.

Indeed! The annual school day is the culmination of the school’s academic year. It is a time for celebration and recognition of the students as well as the school’s achievements.

It is also a time for teamwork and being proud that the school stands for and believes and values. Encourage the children to participate in the various events and see their blossom into an individual with several talents.

It is a pleasant evening, steeping in a solemn mood, atmosphere, and singing of my friends. Thank you all for your enthusiasm and “community spirit.”. I express a deep sense of gratitude to our correspondent Lady for giving her a helping hand on every right path we have chosen.

It is a day of joy because together, we will remember many of the moving stories we have experienced in the past years. It is also a day on which our old students, parents, and friends will learn more about the past and future development of the study and school. Our students have always been known as students with diverse capabilities, and I am sure that you will agree today.

We are at a stage where the chapter closes, and a new one begins. It is overwhelming that we are now counting the years since the school was founded. What a journey it was – every year it has its triumphs and struggles. It was an adventurous journey.

The year 2018 – 19 was celebrated in many ways. The Cricket team won, and our school got it with the association of 10 or 11. The similarity between them is that both could not be possible without the team’s effort. It is the most valuable efforts of students who have always cooperate to solve problems and enjoy happiness in the team.

The year was exciting, full of challenges and revival like everyone else. Some days were an endless stream of emergencies that came unannounced. Everyone allows learning, ask questions, reflect, and introspect. As we prepare for the year, we welcome new tryst, new questions, and new problems: new solutions and new heights.

Moreover, when we do, it, we remember that … “On each blade of grass sits an angel who still says: Grows! It grows! – More about school development and a few other points.

Finally, we know that: we have become stronger and intelligent. The happiness and satisfaction of teachers and students show that “everything is good” or “almost everything is good.” Thanks a lot for always trust and support.

We set our standards, strive to achieve them, and rise to higher levels. Science, evolution, and effort will never cease.

Once again, welcome to all these memorable festivities throughout the year. Everyone will be surprised by watching what will be on the stage. I want to thank everyone for giving me this opportunity.

Introduce Yourself and Any Seminar Delegates

As for the opening remarks , introducing yourself, and any seminar delegates is vital, although it may seem like a minor detail.

By taking the time to do this, you help create a sense of community and belonging among the participants. Plus, it helps set the tone for the rest of the seminar.

For example, you’re giving a talk at educational institutions. Introducing yourself as one of the respected teachers helps establish credibility.

But if it’s an informal event, you could say, “Dear colleagues, it’s a great pleasure to attend today’s seminar!” Doing so helps create a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Also, introducing yourself and your co-speaker—

  • Sets the tone for the rest of the speeches
  • Helps the audience understand your credentials
  • Allows you to establish rapport with the audience
  • Allows you to make an excellent first impression, and get the audience on your side from the start

Explain the Objectives of the Webinar

Introducing the objectives of the webinar at the start is an integral part of a welcome speech. It orients participants to the webinar coverage and why each one is crucial.

Likewise, it builds credibility by providing an overview of the topics. It also reinforces the purpose of attending the webinar.

All these factors combined create a more engaged and attentive audience, leading to a more successful webinar.

Here’s an example for this part.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our webinar on “Sustainable Development Goals!” My name is Lara, and I will be your speaker today.

Our objectives for this webinar are threefold:

  • To provide an overview of the Sustainable Development Goals
  • To discuss how you can implement the Sustainable Development Goals in the workplace
  • To answer any questions you may have about the Sustainable Development Goals

So, without further ado, let’s begin this webinar.

Outline the Key Points

Outlining the key points of the upcoming discussion is part of writing a welcome speech. Doing so ensures everyone in the audience understands the webinar’s coverage clearly.

Besides that, you can keep the discussion on track in your respective fields. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when creating your outline:

  • Introduce the topic of the discussion. Give a quick overview of what you will cover.
  • Identify the key points you’ll be covering in more detail. You’ll want to focus on these points during your speech.
  • Provide a summary of each key point. Doing so will orient everyone and give a better understanding of the discussion.
  • End with a call-to-action or a question for further discussion. This step will engage the audience and ensure everyone takes something away from the experience.

State the Date, Time, and Duration of the Webinar

Date, time, and duration let your attendees know when they need to be available. It also ensures that everyone is on the same page and knows how long the webinar will be.

By providing this information upfront, you can avoid confusion or frustration later. Additionally, stating these details in your welcome speech shows you’re an organized person.

More than that, it can instill confidence in your attendees. And it can encourage them to participate actively in the webinar. 

Ultimately, including this crucial information sets the tone for an informative webinar.

To better understand it, here’s an example.

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining us today for our webinar on personal development.

Before we start, I want to let you know we’ll record this webinar. That said, it will be available on our website to watch later if you can’t make it today.

Also, I wanted to remind everyone that we will take questions at the presentation’s end. You can type your queries into the chat box, and we’ll answer as many as possible at the end.

Finally, I want to let you know that this webinar will last about 45 minutes, and we’ll be starting right on time at 2:00 pm EST.

Get More Resources

Provide a Brief Overview of the Topics

There are various issues to cover in your webinar. And it can be helpful to provide a brief overview of these topics in your welcome speech.

This way, your audience will better understand what you will discuss. Likewise, it sets the stage for the rest of your speech and ensures your audience can follow along and understand the main points of your talk.

What’s more, is that it—

  • Helps to ensure that everyone in the audience is on the same page
  • Provides a roadmap for the rest of the speech and can help keep the speaker on track
  • Gives the audience a hint of what they can expect to learn from the speech

Here’s an example.

Hello everyone!

Thank you for joining us here today. We gather to celebrate the importance of health, natural resources, and free expression. These are all essential components of a happy and productive life.

The importance of good health is something that we can all appreciate. A healthy body allows us to do the things we love and enjoy life to the fullest.

Of course, our natural resources are another vital part of a happy life. We need clean air and water to breathe and drink. Likewise, we need healthy plants and animals to provide us with sustenance.

Then, our freedom of expression is essential for a thriving democracy. And it’s something that we should all work hard to protect.

Thank you for joining us today. I hope you will take away some valuable insights as we go through our webinar to help you live a happier life.

Highlight How Participants Can Benefit from Attending the Webinar

It’s always a good idea to remind participants what they will get from the webinar. Doing so creates anticipation and excitement among the audience. It also helps increase attendance rates.

Highlighting webinar benefits also ensures attendees get the most out of the experience. 

There are many different ways in which participants can benefit from a webinar. For example, they may learn new skills or gain accent improvement in new areas of their industry. They may also have the opportunity to talk with other professionals. Or they can discuss important topics related to their field.

Of course, you can also provide other materials, such as handouts and slides. Participants can use these materials to follow along during the webinar.

Thank Participants for Their Time

Thanking participants for their time is a critical element of any welcome speech. It’s a way to show your appreciation for their attendance. And it also sets the tone for the rest of the event.

By thanking participants, you’re signaling that you value their input. Plus, it shows that you want to create a positive, constructive environment.

To thank participants effectively, you need to speak in a conversational tone. Avoid sounding too formal or scripted. Just be polite and sincere, and take a moment to address each person in the room.

Here are some examples of things you might say:

  • “Thank you all for coming today. I appreciate your time and your participation.”
  • “Thank you for being here. I know this is an important issue, and I’m glad we have such a passionate group of people working on it.”
  • “Thanks again for coming. I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas.”

Remind Participants to Use the Webinar Hashtag During the Event

Using a designated hashtag will put all the discussions from your webinar in one place. This way, it will be easy for participants to reference later.

In the same way, it can be great for marketing purposes . For example, you can include Twitter handles for all the speakers. Then, your followers who couldn’t attend the live event can still see what they missed. It will also create a buzz within the industry.

What Is a Welcome Speech for Seminar?

We all know that there are a lot of kinds of speeches , and a welcome speech is simply one of them. So a welcome speech for a seminar is a kind of speech written basically for a seminar . It can be used for college seminars that are often for students, or even a seminar for business or other kinds of meetings in a company. A welcome speech is also a kind of speech that is used as a way to welcome people or visitors to the seminar or the meeting. This speech is made to show that the visitor or the person or people that are present would know that they are there for a reason and are more than welcome to join. The whole purpose of this kind of speech is to give out a warm appreciation and to make others feel the same way. This is in one way a good speech to use when you want to show a person you appreciate them and to make them feel that they are a part of the seminar.

How to Write a Welcome Speech for Seminar?

It goes without saying, learning to write a welcome speech would also help you when you are going to be presenting it. This is why the first step you can take is to know what to write and how to present it. Here are your tips to get you started.

1. Make a Draft for Your Welcome Speech

Being able to know what to write in your speech should be the first thing you need to do. You have to remember that writing speeches would make a difference when you present them. You have to be careful what you say and how you say it too.

2. Do Your Research About the Occasion

The next thing you can do is to do your research on the occasion you are making a speech about. Even if it is merely a welcome speech, it is still best to do research. Get to know who will be coming and if there are any special guests you need to know about.

3. Write the Final Output for the Welcome Speech

After making the draft, and you know that it is enough, you may proceed to making your final output. Make sure that the necessary names that you need to welcome are also there. Practice on pronouncing the names to make a good impression as well. Lastly, your final output for the welcome speech has to have at least a good outcome from the draft you made.

4. Practice Your Welcome Speech for Seminar

Before being able to do the speech, another thing to look forward to is to practice. If you noticed people making speeches, you would probably say they sound good and delivered the speech on point. That’s because practicing their speech first before delivering can make a difference.

5. Make Your Welcome Speech by Heart

This means that, when you deliver the speech, keep in mind that there are a lot of people listening to you. Also keep in mind that how you deliver your speech would also affect how the audience responds to it. Make your welcome speech feel like it came from the heart.

What is a welcome speech for a seminar?

This is a type of speech used mainly for seminars. Whether it be in a school setting or a business meeting setting. A welcome speech made for seminars differs in a way that it focuses on welcoming distinguished guests but only those who are important and those who may be speaking during the seminars.

What should the welcome speech focus on?

Welcoming everyone in the room with a general welcome. Welcoming the guests and any speaker that may be presenting in the seminar or conference. These can easily be done by doing research before making your speech.

Is it okay to read from your copy of the speech?

It is okay to do so, but avoid making it obvious. As much as possible take a small glance at your speech but the rest is on the audience.

When making speeches like a welcome speech, always remember these things. Practice, make a draft, do your research, and be careful how you deliver. These may seem like simple things to not take notice of, but they can literally change the way you make your speech. Even if it seems it’s merely a welcome speech.

Seminar Welcome Speech

Welcome speech for a seminar in office.

Honourable Chief Executive Officer, Honourable Vice President and Board of Directors, Respected Members of Information Technology Department, Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen,

It gives me immense pleasure in welcoming all of you to the 5 th  annual seminar of the ——— Food Ltd. Established in 2010, the company today has reached the heights of great success. Our company was established with a vision to serve the society with the production of quality processed food and beverages. We focus more on the middle and low income group who want to consume quality products within a limited budget. Our target audiences are the locals of this place as well as business people who operate within a range of 50 kilometres.

But seeing the success of our company and the popularity of our products, the management has decided to expand the area of business. Now we want to target the high income group people as well as increase the range of our business operations to other states too and subsequently to other countries. After an in-depth brainstorming session and discussion amongst the management and all other relevant stakeholders, it has been decided that the organisation will adopt digitalisation as a means of promoting itself amongst the people, apart from other traditional means.

Digitalisation is one of the greatest means of transforming the society in the present era. It directs the virtual transformation of almost every component of our life today; the style of working, the means of living, the way of communication, building knowledge, doing business, etc. Digitalisation influences our welfare, democracy, healthcare, environment and society overall.

It won’t be incorrect to say that digitalisation is revolutionary and has majorly changed the face of promotion and marketing too. Digitalisation is the greatest channel of globalisation as it connects people worldwide within fractions of seconds. Thus, it will certainly help our company in meeting its objectives too. With the advent of 2017, we plan to enhance our marketing scope to some other Asian countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Hong Kong and Philippines.

Having said this, we can’t ignore the fact that digitalisation has its own challenges and shortcomings too. Some of the challenges which we may face today are reaching out to those people who don’t have access to internet or who live in remote areas. After devoting a careful thought to this problem, the management committee has come up with different promotion plans to reach out to those people. Our objective is to bring the benefits of our quality products to the maximum people and thus we have engaged one of the best marketing teams to promote our brand and services to the countries discussed above.

But one drawback of the digitalisation is the privacy breach. Today, digitalisation requires proficient handling of problems relating to security and privacy.

This seminar has been organised to discuss all these and many more issues which may occur during the further development and promotion of our brand and services. Well-known experts, researchers and managers from the industries and society have been invited to present their views and discuss the opportunities, threat, strengths and weaknesses of the subject.

I hope you have an engaging and enriching session ahead.

Welcome Speech for Seminar in College

Good Morning to one & all present,

Respected ———————–, Director of ————— University, Principal Madam, Professor ——————, Presiding Officer of IIT, distinguished guests, my dear students and ladies & gentlemen.

Today we all have gathered here to discuss about a very important topic i.e. “Women Rights & the Gender Justice”, which is the most vehemently discussed issue with significant implications for the future of women.

It is a bitter reality that the women have been ill treated in society for ages with India being no acceptance. The irony lies in the fact for our country that women are worshipped in the form of Shakti whereas in reality she is just treated as a commodity and subjected to inhuman treatment. She is discriminated at two levels: The first being women and secondly, having lack of economic independence.

The issue of gender justice is nowadays being raised by the activists and the academics because of the women’s increasing demand for equality. But still they have to face a lot of discrimination. Actually, this problem is not confined to India, but women in European countries too face harassment & unfair treatment.

Gradually, women have been coming forward and playing their roles in diverse fields such as banking, finance, marketing, civil services, aviation and even armed forces. Perhaps, that may be the reason why the Government of India, has launched a series of initiatives to raise awareness about women’s rights through mass media campaigns, seminars, training programmes and workshops etc to improve the lot of women in the country.

Against this backdrop, we have assembled here to know more about the topic with many eminent speakers lined up for today’s seminar. With this brief background, I would welcome our Chief Guest Mr. —————–, Director of —– University for sharing his views on this pertinent subject. I want to also welcome our participants who have come up here to ——- College from all across the country to present their views on the very topic.

I would, on the behalf of our College, again thank you ——————-for accepting our invitation and would like to extend my gratitude towards our Principal Madam for encouraging us to conduct a seminar like this today. I am again thankful to you Madam, for your kind support, suggestions and guidance given to us, as and when required.

I feel honoured to welcome all the parents & my fellow colleagues for taking a keen part in this important programme.

I am sure that you all will feel enriched with knowledge after completion of this event. I welcome you all once again to the Seminar and hope that you all will have a great time ahead.

Thank You All!

Welcome Speech for Science Seminar

Hon’ble Chief Guest, Hon’ble Head of the Department, Respected Researchers, Respected Senior Doctors, Dear Colleague Doctors, Dear Interns, Ladies & Gentlemen,

We have gathered here to discuss the scope of Radiology in treating various injuries and diseases in our Hospital – ‘Health & Care for you’. I am highly honoured to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Hospital and Head of Department, to welcome all of you today to this one-day Seminar.

We have amongst us several distinguished personalities who are highly qualified and possess vast knowledge and experience in the field of radiology. Our Hospital ‘Health & Care for you’ was established in the year 2000 with an objective to help patients suffering from abdominal cancer across India. Our mission is to root out the cause of cancer and treat the critical patients whose chance of survival is minimal. We have been highly successful so far and by the year 2015, we got pretty good exposure in foreign countries too which led us to open branches in Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

We have highly qualified and eminent doctors who are more like guardians to the patients, which is one of the core reasons why the patients recover soon. The hospital was established with a social cause and thus 40% of the funds get contributed towards treating the poor and needy people.

We have gathered here to discuss the scope of radiology in treating cancer. Our hospital uses and employs several methodologies in detecting the cause of cancer and subsequently treating the same, but technology has made several advancements in the field of medical science. Radiology is one of such technologies which we are going to discuss in detail today in this seminar.

Radiology employs imaging technologies like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, Nuclear Medicine, Computed Tomography (CT), Ultrasound and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to observe within the body of the human being in order to detect diseases and abnormalities and subsequently treat the same. A further analysis exhibited that a radiographer is a health professional who is university-trained and works with progressive technology to produce CT Scan, X-rays, MRI Scans and several other medical images to support clinical radiologists and doctors identify, observe or treat the injury and illness of patients.

We will also discuss the scope of other modern technologies which have brought a revolution in the field of medical field. Having said this, I would like to reiterate that science has no bar. It has endless scope and opportunities. Like you all know, the mission of our hospital is to treat maximum patients with positive result; with the same objective, we have arranged this seminar and invited several dignified personalities from the field of Research & Development, Radiology Department, Senior Medical Doctors, Cancer Specialists and Chemotherapists. We would request them to share their experience and expertise which would help us in making our hospital more prominent and renowned worldwide.

I hope you all find this seminar highly engaging, fruitful and beneficial for your future venture.

Welcome Speech for School Seminar

Hon’ble Chief Guest, Respected Principal, Respected Vice Principal, Respected Board Members, Dear Staff, Dear Students, Ladies and Gentlemen!

It gives me immense pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to all of you present here on behalf of the entire school council. I would also like to express our gratitude to our esteemed judges who have accepted our invitation to preside over this School Seminar on Personal Development.

St. Mary’s High School, established in the year of 1967 has completed 50 glorious years in providing quality education as well as exposure to its students in different fields. It is extremely gratifying that the school has reached great heights and realized its goals and objectives. The school conducts seminar every year for the students to gain knowledge and actively engage in the school’s activities. Each and every topic chosen is in the best interest of the students of this school. It is also made sure that the topics are engrossing and well-liked by the participants. Last year, the seminar was based on ‘’Accent Improvement’’ which has helped a lot of students in acquiring a finer accent in English language. The purpose of the seminar was to make our students as well as the staff, speak English more smoothly and accurately and to emphasize the importance of linking, stress, pausing and pitch while speaking.

Personal Development, this year’s topic, too will help the students to gain an understanding of life-changing skills and the focus would be mainly on the critical aspects like goal setting, improved confidence, leadership development, effective communication and life coaching. Like every year, faculties from different schools and professional bodies are called upon to communicate their ideas, views and knowledge on the subject matter. But today’s seminar is going to be somewhat different than the previous ones, as a private counselling session will also be conducted thereafter for the interested candidates.

Personal Development is essential for professionals and students who desire to achieve brilliance in their respective fields. Through this seminar, the students will be able to identify their weak spots that require improvement as well as the usual changes required in their living style. Apart from the personal development skills, students will also be taught on how to improve their social skills.

The agenda of the seminar will include debates, viewpoints of different experts and motivation through real life examples. The school will ensure to display all the key details on its official website for quick and easy access to all the significant aspects of the seminar.

I expect that the seminar will be productive and the next few hours will be enjoyable and fruitful to you all.

Thank you very much!

Welcome Speech for Class Seminar

Hon’ble Chief Guest, Hon’ble Vice President, Respected Principal, Respected teachers, Respected Heads of departments, Dear staff colleagues, Dear students and Ladies and Gentlemen!

It’s indeed a matter of great honour for me to welcome all of you today, on behalf of the entire college, to the 3 rd  annual seminar of the ——— College of Arts. The college was established in the year 2011 with a vision to create future leaders of tomorrow by imparting education, knowledge and skills. The objective of the college was not only to impart theoretical education, but also to nurture our students and keep them rooted to the social culture and ethics. It’s highly thrilling to share that the college has reached the heights of success and achieved its goal to a large extent.

To make the subject interesting, we have started conducting the annual seminar since 2015. We keep fresh and emerging topics every year to keep the students interested and engaged; motivate them to participate warmly and discuss and share their thoughts and opinions. Last year the topic was ‘Internet Security’ and it was a great success. Since internet has become the necessity of almost every individual today especially the youth generation, it’s important that the security measures are also adopted while using Internet in order to save oneself from unseen danger due to the security breach.

This year the topic we have chosen is the ‘Social Cause’. You must be aware that our college has partnered with two Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) working for the poor and deprived students and facilitate studies, education and means of living to those. In this one-day Seminar, we will discuss the importance of social cause, its impact on our college and society and how and why should our students contribute to the larger social cause.

Like every year, we have invited the subject matter experts and some common people who would share their views, experience, expertise and thoughts on the topic. The youth is the future of the nation and it is the responsibility of the college to create a better human being along with creating a good professional.

The seminar has been divided into certain segments like debates and discussions, theoretical views, facts and figures followed by the practical assignment which need to be accomplished by the next year. Even though working for the betterment of the society is one’s individual choice, but we highly encourage our students and staff to vigorously participate in the activities that promote social cause. Philanthropic activities not only bring accolades and reputation to the college but also boost the morale and consciousness of participants.

We are extremely hopeful that this seminar is also going to be a great success like every other year and we request for your support in making it a memorable and successful event.
