Please note that this is NOT at all about impromptu speeches (contrary to what the German term may lead you to believe) but rather about some sort of introductory speech(es) setting the direction for further activities/discussions (as you mentioned).

Post-grading: Impulsreden need not necessarily be brief. I've interpreted at several conferences where these "Impulsreferate" were full-blown 15-/20-minute speeches outlining the topic to be discussed in subsequent workshops.

Comment: "This was my own idea. I'm just surprised there isn't a special English expression as an introductory speaker can give a full-length speech not just a few short points for discussion."
