Dear << supervisor's name >>:
I would like to attend Underwater Intervention coming up February 23-25, 2016 in New Orleans,
Louisiana. Thousands of underwater operations industry professionals come together at the
world’s premier international, underwater operations event.
The conference will enable me to attend a number of educational seminars that are directly
applicable to my work and will allow me to network with a variety of industry experts and
colleagues from around the world. Many of the presentations are tailored to the <insert your
primary function here> and give information on how to <insert benefits/lessons here, for example:
reduce costs, increase efficiency>. It’s a very good value for the level of intensive education.
After reviewing the agenda, I have identified a number of education seminars which will allow me
to gain knowledge and understanding that will benefit the company. The presentations are
facilitated by industry experts who have faced similar challenges. I chose each of these
presentations because it is directly related to work we are engaged in currently. Getting the
information in a seminar format will greatly reduce the research time and costs that <your
organization’s name> would normally incur in researching the topics.
<You will need to insert the session descriptions which most apply to your responsibilities.>
The full price conference fee is $590.00 but discounts are available for ADCI or MTS Members
registering early at $390.00 or $490.00 for non-members registering before the early bird
deadline of Jan 10, 2016.

Here is the breakdown of costs:
•
Roundtrip airfare: <$XXX>
•
Transportation: <$XXX>
•
Hotel: <$XXX>
•
Meals: <$XXX>

The total costs associated with attending this event are: <$XXXX>.
The opportunity for me to develop better contacts and gain knowledge in specific areas of <your
area of expertise> makes my attendance at Underwater Intervention 2016 a wise investment—
which will yield rich dividends for <name of your organization>.
Other staff members in our organization will also benefit as I can meet with the team when I
return to relay recommendations/action items. I will also develop an actionable Post-Event Report
for your review.
Please accept this proposal to attend, as I’m confident in the significant return we will receive for
the small investment.
Sincerely,
<your name here>
