In the conclusion, you should use some sort of signal phrase that cues your listeners that you are heading into your windup. Give some thought to the last thing you will say. It should be strongly upbeat, a call to action, a thought for the day, a little story, a quotation. Then say, "Thank you" and stop talking.
