Risky joke - could get a laugh, could get you a meeting with HR without biscuits. It’s worth a punt though if you know your audience!
If you make the joke a bit more explicit it tends to get a few more laughs, like “this one goes out to the tireless administrators, creative engineers, fantastic embeds… and Paul”.
Only pull those stunts if you’re happy to get the piss taken out of you in return though, else you’ll look like a right tosser.
For the formal occasion: “Ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between …”
I always like to say “in between and beyond”, for all our friends off the standard gender spectrum :)
Even better!
As a joke, I’d probably say something like “and all the other ones”. Hope that isn’t offensive or something.

Yeah, I’d only do that exclusively around people that don’t think I’m a piece of shit. Otherwise, could come off as transphobia or something.
