I’m Eager to Learn From Your Talk (Informal)
People will present things for all kinds of reasons. Usually, the aim of a presentation is to teach you or the people attending the presentation a thing or two.
So, you can use “I’m eager to learn from your talk” as a more conversational and informal alternative to “we look forward to your presentation.”
It’s particularly effective when the speaker is new to your company. They could have offered their services to you, and this is a good way to welcome them in.
Generally, this should make the presenting party feel at ease. It’s a great way to show that you have heard good things about them.
Here’s a great email sample to help you if you’re still stuck:
Hi Brian,
I’m eager to learn from your talk. I’ve heard so many great things about what you discuss in your speeches!
Best wishes,

Is It Correct to Say “We Look Forward to Your Presentation”?
It is correct to say “we look forward to your presentation.” It’s a very effective phrase to include in a professional email.
Generally, using “we” in this context means you represent your company rather than yourself. It’s a great way to sound more impersonal but professional.
Here’s an email sample showing you how to use “we look forward to your presentation” in a sentence:
Dear Mr. Scott,
I am very excited to see what you can bring to the table. As a company, we look forward to your presentation.
Best regards,
Sam Tite
It’s also possible to switch the verb form of “look” to “looking.” However, you can only do so when including “we are” beforehand. For example:
- We look forward to your presentation
- We are looking forward to your presentation
You may also use the following variation:
- I look forward to your presentation
There’s nothing wrong with including “I” instead of “we.” However, it’ll make the phrase more personal and friendly. So, account for that before trying to use it.
Also, you can use the following extensions to mix things up:
- We look forward to hearing your presentation
- We are looking forward to seeing your presentation
The only real difference with these is they include a secondary verb. “Hearing” and “seeing” simply show that you’ll be listening or watching someone while they present something.
