How can you justify the time off work and travel expenses? While the return on investment is high, you may need to validate to management your reasons for needing to attend. This kit is designed to help you with these needs. We have included several helpful items, including a return on investment letter and a customized letter to management. Covering the Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Markets Since 1987! “Business Resiliency Today, Tomorrow and Beyond” March 13-16, 2016 Justification Kit A Customized Letter to Management I would like to register for Disaster Recovery Journal’s Spring World 2016 conference. This conference will be held March 13-16, 2016 in Orlando, Florida. It offers a number of educational opportunities that I feel will be beneficial to me and to our organization. These opportunities include in-depth sessions, hands-on exercises, workshops and courses. I will be able to attend a number of sessions that directly apply to my ongoing projects at this organization. Many of the sessions will offer tips on reducing business continuity costs, allowing me to implement costsaving measures upon my return. A few of the sessions that I am particularly interested in include< insert titles >. I would like to attend these because I feel I will gain < insert > and be able to implement the findings in < insert projects or departments that will benefit >. This conference offers the best value in the industry and is also the largest dedicated to business continuity. I will be able to interact with hundreds of continuity planners from around the world, allowing me to make invaluable contacts for future problem-solving endeavors. Sessions are led by some of the most well known consultants, managers and instructors in the industry. By attending these sessions, I can potentially save hundreds or thousands of dollars in future consulting expenses. DRJ has been conducting conferences for nearly three decades, and each conference has an excellent reputation for providing reliable and useful information that can be implemented immediately upon my return to the office. The conference fee is the lowest in the industry, with early registration discounts available for a certain time period. I am asking for funding for the conference fee, travel costs, food and lodging. DRJ has arranged travel discounts, located the conference in an affordable hotel, and they provide breakfasts, lunches and snacks on three days of the conference. In addition, there are two hospitalities I can attend at no cost where food and refreshments are provided. I feel attending DRJ Spring World 2016 is a valuable experience that would greatly benefit this organization. I will be able to bring home all conference materials, allowing me to share with others in the office and possibly train them if needed. Thank you for considering this proposal. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to help make your decision.
