Opening your talk?
Skip the waffle. No one cares where you work or how many awards you've worked on.
Grab attention with a hook like, a question, or a bold statement, then get straight to the good stuff.

@d_yellowlees @pozorvlak I agree 100%. Back in 2002 I gave a conference talk about how to give a three-hour conference tutorial and I said that the biggest mistake people made that was related to the content of the talk was to include a long introduction before getting to the point.

@d_yellowlees i believe a brief intro is polite. One sentence along the lines of "Hi, my name is David Jones and i make fonts. i'm excited to be here today to ask..."
Talks by "famous" people where they don't bother to introduce themselves because they seem to assume that i'll know who they are. And often i just don't. pfft.

@d_yellowlees some people are sent by their employers, so they probably have an (implicit?) obligation to do that.
