'Welcome everyone' or 'Welcome to everyone'?

Dear teachers,


Could you please let me know whether the below sentence is correct?

I think it should be said: And welcome everyone joining us from London. (* without "to")

Thank you. It’s great to be here in New York City. And welcome to everyone joining us from London.

I’m so happy that you are with us today.


Thanks and best regards,


David Kim

"welcome to" is correct. "welcome to ~", in this sense, is short for "I would like to offer a welcome to ~", or something like that, or you can just think of it as an idiomatic expression used to welcome someone.

welcome to is incorrect in this sentence --- you do not put whom you address after "to", but where....

Welcome, Everyone, to our conference. Welcome everyone who is joining us from London.

We welcome you to the show.
