 **How do you welcome a business audience to your presentation?**

I've thought of:

    Hello, my name is [prename] [surname] and I am going to talk about [...]

but it sounds rather like a school presentation and not like a business presentation. Or isn't there a difference in the English language?

Does it make a difference if there are only men or if it is a mixed audience?

<sup>(I don't have any experience with business presentations and English is a foreign language for me. If you have any more hints for business presentations or links to websites that adress this topic: Please let me know in the comment. But please note that this is not the question.)</sup>

(Note: I've [already asked this question here](https://english.stackexchange.com/q/80531/9880))
