Shawn says that Hannah “will be followed by Mr. Hanson.”
To “be followed by” someone or something means to finish and to have something else begin.
My explanation of the vocabulary will be followed by listening to the formal meeting at a native rate of speech.
Hannah being followed by Mr. Hanson means that once Hannah finishes speaking, Mr. Hanson will begin his part of the presentation.
Shawn says that Mr. Hanson will discuss adapting, or changing, the product to meet market needs and that he'll conclude with the main recommendations or suggestions.
To “conclude” (conclude) means to end something; usually this is a verb we use with a presentation or discussion.
A speaker might conclude his speech by thanking people for listening, or by asking people to fill out an evaluation form before they leave.
That's to “conclude,” to end a presentation or a discussion.
Finally, Shawn says that there isn't very much time, so he asks people to “hold their questions” until the end of the presentation.
To “hold one's questions” means to wait to ask a question until the end of a meeting or a presentation.
This is very common in formal meetings, but you'll see that in informal meetings it's more common for people to ask their questions whenever they think of them.
That “concludes” or ends our explanation of the vocabulary for the formal meeting.
