Welcome Speech for an Event – Speech

Good morning, I extend a warm welcome to all those gathered here today, including our
esteemed teachers, parents, and students. I’d like to express our gratitude to our Chief
Guest, XYZ, for joining us. We feel privileged to have such a successful writer and
businessperson in our midst.

Before we kick start today’s program, I – Abhinav Sharma – the assistant manager of
ABC Group in our company and your host for today would like to welcome each and
every one of you to this special event. I am extremely pleased to welcome those who
have been serving our company for a long time and those as well who have recently
joined.

This day, as I am sure most of you would know, marks the 11th annual group meeting
and it is a proud moment for all of us that our company could host this meeting at this
spectacular place with all of us.

Secondly, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all my colleagues who were
always more than ready to lend their support in making this event a success. It is not
possible to take the names of all, so I want to thank everyone who contributed in some
or the other way towards this event. It wouldn’t have been possible without the support
of you all.

In today’s event, our focus would be all those new volunteers who have recently joined
us. Do you know why you all have been appointed by your respective managers? Of
course, it’s because you displayed mutual passion and a spirit to work for a company in
close association with everyone. Your passion for work helps us to come together and
unite the energy that we have in order to realize our goals at both personal and
professional levels. Everyone needs everyone here to be able to work towards the
growth of the company and that’s why it calls for a celebration that we could have all the
like-minded people under one roof.

In the coming months, you will be taught different initiatives with the help of planned
seminars, activities, and special events where you (the new volunteers) will be invited
and given hands-on expertise. I hope this chain of events will help you grow and
become more productive as well as smarter than your present capacity.

I hope I am not taking too much of your time and now without any further ado, I would
like to call on stage my manager to let you know about our upcoming projects/activities.
Please be ensured that today will be a lot of fun and packed with learning.

Besides, any one of you can come on stage and join me to share your valued
suggestions and ideas, including sharing your doubts, questions, etc. Also, you all are
requested to collect your food coupons after 12 and before 1 in order to avoid any
hassles afterward.
Thank you for being such a wonderful audience and let us give a huge round of
applause for my manager/the next speaker.

Hope you have a wonderful day ahead!

Thank You!
