Convince Your Boss to go to THAT Conference
+
+

+ You're eager to attend THAT Conference and a well-written letter to your manager can make all + the difference in getting approved. In this guide, we'll provide you with a step-by-step + approach to crafting a persuasive request letter that covers all the essential details. Let's + get started! +

+ +

Step 1: Understand Your Audience

+

+ Before you begin writing, take a moment to understand your manager's perspective. Consider their + priorities, the benefits of attending THAT Conference for your role, and how it aligns with the + company's goals. This understanding will help you tailor your letter effectively. Depending on + where you work there may be other requirements needed for the request. Make sure you investigate + those before approaching your manager. Being well-prepared is the best approach! +

+ +

Step 2: Gather Information

+

+ Compile all the necessary information, including the conference dates, location, agenda, and any + specific sessions or workshops you plan to attend. Research the conference costs, such as + registration fees, travel, accommodation, and meals. Gather who will be there, who you wish to + network with, including speakers and other attendees. +

+

+ —We can fill-in next event details here—
+ —Items like Title, dates, location, ticket types and prices, keynote and other speakers— +

+ {#if nextEvent} +

+ {nextEvent.name}
+ From {nextEvent.prettyStartDate} through {nextEvent.prettyEndDate}
+ {nextVenue.name}
+ {nextVenue.address}
+ {nextVenue.city}, {nextVenue.state} + {nextVenue.zip}

+ Ticket Details +

+ {:else} +

Come back soon for next active event

+ {/if} + +

Step 3: Highlight Benefits

+

+ In your letter, emphasize how attending THAT Conference will benefit both you and the company. + Mention the valuable knowledge and skills you'll acquire, potential networking opportunities, + and how this knowledge can be applied to your current role. +

+ +

Step 4: Create a Detailed Budget

+

+ Provide a clear breakdown of the costs associated with attending the conference. Include + registration fees, travel expenses, accommodation, and meals. Make it easy for your manager to + see the financial aspects. +

+ +

Step 5: Address Time Off

+

+ If you'll need time off work to attend the conference, address this in your letter. Suggest a + plan for handling your responsibilities during your absence, ensuring a smooth workflow for your + team. +

+ +

Step 6: Be Professional and Concise

+

+ Keep your letter professional and concise. Be respectful of your manager's time by getting to + the point quickly. Use a formal tone and proofread for any errors before submitting. Tools like + Grammarly are your friend. If you’re meeting in person, set a time with your manager that is + slower in their day. You want them to focus on the value of THAT Conference, not be preoccupied + with their next meeting. +

+ +

Dear [Manager's Name],

The knowledge and skills gained from attending will directly + enhance my performance in my career and current role. +
    2. +
  2. + Networking Opportunities: I’ll have the chance to connect with many industry + experts and peers, fostering valuable relationships that can benefit me and our company in the + long term. In addition, THAT Conference is a community, not only a conference, where many of + the people I meet will be available all year round for further discussions and engagements. +

When you get a no

+

+ If you found your proposal being denied, while this might suck, don’t take it the wrong way. The + last thing you want to do is become bitter and act hasty about it. Thank the decision-maker just + the same for taking the time to review your proposal. Follow the conference through available + channels, such as Keynotes streamed on YouTube and THAT’s social media accounts, Slack and + Discord. Leverage your network and get updates, snippets and new learning from contacts who were + able to attend. Find and share cases proving that participation in THAT Conference generated + substantial benefits to other developers and rival or competing organizations. Write these down + and utilize them in future proposals. +

+ +

When you get a yes

+

+ When you get an approval remember to thank the decision-maker for approving your request. But + don’t just mention it in passing as you meet them in the hallway. A better way is to communicate + gratitude with an expressed promise to deliver the results you’ve cited in your proposal. +

+ +

Conclusion

+

+ By following these steps and using the example letter as a template, you can effectively request + approval to attend THAT Conference while addressing all the essential details, costs and + benefits. Tailor your letter to your specific circumstances and company culture for the best + chance of approval. If you’re stuck, ask for some assistance on our Slack or Discord. There are + always some people there who are willing to help. Good luck. We look forward to seeing you at + the next THAT Conference! +
