In a sense, that's what I was suggesting; by repeating the conclusion after the Q&A, you include the Q&A inside your presentation.

You can say something like this: "Before I conclude my presentation, what questions do you have?". Then you can conclude strongly - in some of the ways that you've suggested. Also I don't think that there's any problem with repeating key phrases in your presentation. In fact, it's effective - your audience will be more likely to remember a phrase that's been repeated - just think of common advertising slogans. Go well with your workshop Ellen Olivia Hi Ellen
