    You can start by mentioning the title of the conference (e.g., the 21st Annual Meeting of the P. G. Wodehouse Society) and then going on to briefly thank any sponsors and other supporters who helped make it possible. Say something about the theme of the conference and a few general words about the speakers. The welcoming speech can also be a good opportunity to bring up important news and announcements, but keep it brief! You might end by thanking the audience and introducing the first speaker.
