This was excellent. I am moderating a webinar with multiple speakers next week. Would haved also loved to hear more on how to introduce a speaker on a webinar.

Use one interesting fact about your guest that make them valuable to the webinar. 3. Lead them into a short introduction so your audience connects with the guest speaker early.
