Hi [NAME OF BOSS],

I would like your approval to attend TBD Conference in March. This event is focused on the future and comes during a critical time for our business. The event is unique and will provide education, inspiration, and connections that will help me achieve more in my role in 2022 and beyond.

TBD will feature over 30 speakers [including The Economist, Google, psychologists and stealth startups] that will teach me actionable new tactics and help me continue to improve my skills in [SKILL 1], [SKILL 2], and [SKILL 3].

TBD attracts people who are focused on the same challenges as me. I’m excited for the opportunity to learn from them too so that I can come back and apply that knowledge to projects like [PROJECT NAME].

TBD will allow me to step back and focus on the big picture of how I can develop my skills and become better in my role, as well as the new strategies we can start applying now to elevate our entire business. Specifically, here’s what I’m planning to accomplish at TBD:

• [GOAL 1]
• [GOAL 2]
• [GOAL 3]

When TBD is over, I will share a transcript of the talks, takeaways with the team, including ones that we can implement immediately and an action plan for how we'll make that happen.

I've broken down approximately how much it will cost for me to attend:

- Ticket:

Best,
