Here’s How to Provide Justification You Need to Attend a Conference
Attending an industry conference is an excellent training tool, but getting approval
to travel and participate can sometimes be difficult. 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.
A Customized Letter to Management
I would like to register for Disaster Recovery Journal’s Spring World 2015 conference. This conference
will be held March 22 - 25 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 2015 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.
Return on Investment Letter
DRJ’s conferences have been valuable to thousands of contingency planners from around the
world. In the more than 20 years that we have hosted conferences, more than 10,000 business
continuity professionals have received a stellar education through our sessions, workshops,
courses and more.
DRJ conferences offer the lowest attendance cost of any in the industry, providing a highly costeffective method for gaining education, certification, networking and awareness training.
At a typical DRJ conference, attendees participate in more than 25 hours of educational sessions,
as well as more than 15 hours of direct networking events. Industry professionals who can impart
their years of experience onto attendees lead sessions. Many of these speakers are employed as
consultants and educators in the industry, often charging more than the conference fee for a

Most DRJ speakers are accessible to conference attendees both before and after each session,
allowing attendees to gain unprecedented one-on-one time with industry experts.
In addition, DRJ Spring World 2015 features a concurrent exhibition hall, filled with many
of the industry’s top companies and their personnel. Attendees are given free access to the
exhibit hall, allowing networking, research, and discussion opportunities. This is an extremely
good opportunity to explore the newest technology and products, without adding additional
costs.
