hosting duties
Welcoming guests officially
Hosting duties are the responsibilities that come with being the host of an event, gathering, or venue.
These typically include welcoming guests, managing logistics, and ensuring everyone's comfort: She was so busy with hosting duties that she barely ate.
The phrase often appears when someone is explaining why they can't fully participate in an event they're running.
