Dear [Your supervisor’s name], I'd like to submit a request to attend [IT/Dev Connections 2015 or specific track] September 14th-18th, 2014 in Las Vegas. IT/Dev Connections 2015 provides four days of in-depth technology training and networking opportunities across a broad range of development and IT platforms and solutions. IT/Dev Connections offers 5 technology tracks and 180+ sessions that are led by the industry’s top experts. It is packed full of valuable information, which I can bring back to work and put into practice immediately. Group discounts are also available for this conference, making it less expensive for teams to attend. While in attendance, I'd like to focus on finding solutions or best practices that could benefit these projects: [Project or Goal #1] [Project or Goal #2] [Project or Goal #3] In addition to the learning opportunities the conference offers, I will also have the chance to connect face-to-face with peers, third-party product vendors, and expert speakers who have optimized technology environments similar to ours and personally learn from these experts who know the most about the technologies we're working with. IT/Dev Connections also features pre-conference workshops. These full-day classes are also led by experts, but in a smaller setting to further enhance my knowledge through supplemental, in-depth, and comprehensive training. Thank you for considering my request to register for this event. I look forward to your reply. Regards, [Your name]
