Boss still need convincing?

Hi [NAME],

I’m writing to request approval to attend SEE2024 - CrowdRiff’s annual travel and tourism marketing conference taking place October 28-30 2024 in Austin, Texas. 

It looks like SEE is going to be another great event this year and attending would be a tremendous opportunity for me professionally, and for our company and team as a result. In addition to the knowledge gained from industry keynotes and sessions, I'll get hands-on opportunities to learn from CrowdRiff experts and connect with people who are driving the future of travel and tourism marketing. Plus, I'll network directly with industry leaders and have access to all the recorded sessions afterward to share with you and the rest of our team. 

I’ll leave SEE2024 equipped with an action plan to apply my learnings to our upcoming projects, and the tools and insights to help benefit the team as a whole. Overall I estimate my attendance will cost approximately ($ HERE), which includes travel, accommodations, and registration. They even have a Buy 2 get 1 free deal if more folks on the team wanted to join.

You can check out more on the conference website, but I can't think of any training that's as good of a deal as this one. It offers tons of ongoing value and ROI for the price so I’d love to secure my ticket - please let me know as soon as you can! 

Thanks,

[YOUR NAME]
