This is a difficult question to answer because, although you have said that it is a teachers' seminar, you haven't said what the agenda is. Because it is an introductory speech, can it be assumed that you will need to give some words of welcome, or is that somebody else's job?
Even if you do not have to include the welcome in your speech, you have said that it is introductory so that means that you need to introduce what is about to come.
Research your subject and have an objective in mind so that when you are planning your speech you have something to focus on.
To pull this off you will need to practice as much as you possibly can. It is worth doing this in front of a friend or a family member whom you trust to give you some constructive criticism, as well as in the mirror, and recording yourself.
This way, you will be able to hear how you sound, which is a good thing because many novice public speakers tend to talk in an artificial sing song voice that is awful.
