Dear Insert Manager S Name s3

Dear [Insert Manager’s Name],

I would like your approval to attend the IndustryWeek Manufacturing & Technology Conference & Expo (IW M&T Expo), the only event designed to keep manufacturing decision-makers at the forefront of manufacturing’s digital transformation. It is taking place May 8-10th in Raleigh, NC.

Here are just 5 quick reasons I think it would be great for me and for our company:

1. It is attended by over 1,500 senior manufacturing professionals from all over the country. I will be able to meet with speakers and attendees at networking events, have mini-brainstorming sessions, and make new connections for our company.

2. It has dozens of actionable, in-depth sessions by speakers from companies that can share tangible examples and real-life case studies presented by manufacturers focusing on lessons learned and best practices that we can immediately utilize for our business.

3. I can “Go to the Gemba” with a tour of a leading North Carolina plant. I can see how one of the top companies runs its operations and bring it back to us.

4. There are a great series of workshops where I can take an in-depth dive into a topic. The workshop is included in my conference pass.

5. Finally, there is an expo floor with 100+ manufacturing and technology exhibitors showcasing the latest tools, techniques, and products, where I can then connect with them directly to discuss our needs and pain points so we can work more efficiently and effectively.

Here are some of the sessions that are of specific interest to me:

I’ve broken down the approximate cost of my attendance below:

Airfare/Travel: $[COST] Hotel: $[COST] Event Registration: $[COST] (change if you register early)

Total: $[TOTAL COST]

Upon my return from the IW M&T Conference, I will share key takeaways, including those that we can implement immediately to maximize our advanced manufacturing and technology efforts, and impact our bottom line. I know we’ll quickly recoup the investment you’ll be making by approving this request.

The IW M&T Conference has negotiated various early bird discounts for registration and hotel accommodations which would reduce the cost significantly if I register early. Therefore, I appreciate your immediate attention to my request. You may even visit the event website at http://mfgtechshow.com. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
