thank you speech

Acceptance ceremony remarks

A thank you speech is a formal address expressing gratitude, typically given after receiving an award, honor, or recognition.

The speaker acknowledges those who contributed to their success—mentors, collaborators, family: She gave a tearful thank you speech at the ceremony.

Such speeches risk becoming tedious when the list of acknowledgments runs long.
