Welcoming speeches extend greetings to new members of organisations or visitors. University teachers welcome new students, company managers say hello to new employees, and conference organizers extend warm regards to delegates. The speaker giving the welcome should express pleasure at seeing new faces, encourage the audience to make themselves at home, outline what’s ahead in the program, and convey best wishes to the audience members for success. The speech of welcome should be concise, communicate warmth in its tone and message, build trust and support, and establish common ground.
First impressions are important indeed. How you welcome a group can affect a day or even a working lifetime.
