Subject:

With the deadline for saving $300 coming up quickly, I’d like to get your approval to attend the Flash Memory Summit this August 8-10 in Santa Clara, CA. There’s no other conference where I’ll have the opportunity to learn the key information I need to get the most out of our current (and future) flash products and technologies. I’ll have access to experts from around the world—so I can grow my skills and increase our productivity.

I’ll be able to choose from more than 150 sessions, tailoring my schedule to get exactly the information I need. For example, I plan to focus on:

 < Product or technology supporting (name the project) >  < Product or technology supporting (name the project) >  < Product or technology supporting (name the project) > In addition to sessions, I’ll be able to check out over 120 exhibitors.

Here’s what a few of last year’s attendees said about their experience:

 “Everything flash and SSD concentrated in one place. It gives me the opportunity to investigate the wide variety of flash products out there.”  “Speaking directly with product managers was very useful.”  “It’s a phenomenal conference and its size provides variety and choice. There are experts to meet everywhere you turn.”  “It provided face-to-face contact with peer professionals using similar technologies. Exactly what our company needed.” This is the approximate cost of my attending the Flash Memory Summit:

Airfare: $ Hotel: $ Meals: $ Registration $ ($1595 for 4 -- if registered by August 9, a savings of $400) Other expenses: $ Total cost: $

Attending the Flash Memory Summit will have huge value for me and . Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks in advance for your support.
