Is this title OK?
Hello. A question from Japan. I am a teacher and now planning to have a symposium inviting three speakers at my school. I wonder if this title is OK from native speakers' point of view:
How Do the Professionals Work Globally?:
A Symposium on the Use of English in the International Professional Settings.
I will invite people who are working as a business person or an activist outside Japan, hoping that their talks motivate our students to learn English. The speakers are all do their business using English. That is how the above title came about.
Any comments will be appreciated and welcomed.

:A Symposium on the Use of English in the International Professional Settings. You can safely dispense with "the" in two places. It's also unusual to use two punctuation marks in a row, so I would remove the colon.
