Hi Vireak! You can, but "In conclusion" is generally better suited for academic writing or very formal presentations. For spoken summaries in daily business, "To sum up" or "To recap" sound much more natural! 🗣️

Great question! To "wrap up" means to finish the activity itself (like closing the meeting and leaving). To "sum up" means to state the main points. You usually sum up right before you wrap up! 📝
