Tips for introducing a guest speaker
1. Do not talk too much. Keep your introduction between 45 seconds to 3 minutes.
2. Bios are a great place to get information. Almost all speakers will have an online bio or event planner can have a copy of their bio. You can also look up your online name for other interesting tidbits about them, but do not include something that can be controversial or potentially embarrassing for them, unless you are asked first.
3. Ask the speaker what he would like you to say in his introduction. If they are very prominent and difficult to speak personally, ask your staff or administrative assistant for information.
4. If possible, find out what the speaker is focusing on beforehand, so it does not imply that they will talk about a thing when actually speaking about something else.
5. If it is a professional forum, do not talk about the guest speaker's family unless asked first.
6. Try to find transcripts of other speeches you have done online. Often, introductory remarks will be included and can be used to frame your own observations.
