Dear [Name]
I would like to attend the ITWeb 11th Annual Business Intelligence Summit 1, 2 and 3 March
17, 18 and 19 May (conference plus workshop?, The Forum, Bryanston.
The return on the investment will be a major benefit for our organisation, because the event
aligns directly to our priorities and overall objectives, specifically [insert your priorities and
objectives here].
The theme of this event is: “Analyse. Adapt. Align” – Organisations need to stay ahead of
their competitors and differentiate themselves successfully in today's hyper connected and
highly competitive world. Business intelligence can help you find this advantage and is
becoming critical for long-term success and growth in organisations on our continent.
In today’s ever-changing environment nothing stands still for long and that includes the
world of security.
I will gain valuable insight into the following and many more topics of relevance as we all as
being afforded the opportunity to discuss and debate the subjects with the speakers (local
and international) throughout the proceedings:
-
What or who is a data scientist
Predictive analytics
Building a data culture in today’s interconnected world
Deliver on your BI projects
Life after BI
How to use social media data to revolutionise your business; SKA – what next?
The top trends in BI for 2016;
An African Perspective – Kenya Airways
A Multinational Perspective – Orange, Vodafone
BI Projects: An Agile Approach
Reduce the cost of BI
The summit will give me opportunities to exchange ideas and share information, and it will
allow me to explore new ways of using social media so I can help our organisation grow into a
connected and socially-savvy one. Senior decision-makers, thought leaders, gurus and social
business experts will be at the event, speaking and having roundtable discussions about hot
issues relevant to our organisation – this is a massive networking opportunity and it will give
me a chance to connect with influential people that I can learn from.
I’ll make sure the rest of the team benefits as well. After attending the event, I will meet with
them and share my recommendations, lessons learned as well as action items, and circulate a
detailed post-summit report. During these meetings, I will be also able to show the team
downloadable presentations, PDFs and audio recordings of the sessions I attended.
I am seeking approval for the registration fee and travel expenditures.

There are also special discounts available for groups and I think it would be beneficial for the
organisation to have more than just one employee attending. If a bigger group attends, we
will be able to strategise and embed social as a culture more successfully.
