SPEAKERS, MEET AUDIENCE MEMBERS

It is wise, polite and a manifestation of good manners for presenters to spend a little time meeting audience members after the presentation. It can be not very pleasant from the viewpoint of audience response for somebody to present and then rush straight off to another appointment with a selected host or just to disappear altogether.

I believe the part of a presenter convincing listeners of the speech’s worth comes from staying behind and rubbing shoulders with people in formally at the end of the session. I this helps to convince people of his or her interest in them. There is a certain “humanity” about following this line of action.
