Re: Approval to Attend the Annual Splunk User Conference - .conf18

Dear [Manager],

I'm writing to ask for approval to attend the annual Splunk user conference, .conf18, October 1-4, 2018 in Orlando, Florida.

.conf18 is considered the premier destination for technology professionals looking to thrive in the evolving world of big data. The on-site curriculum of more than 300 sessions offers a unique opportunity to acquire cutting-edge knowledge and develop skills around technologies we currently use, as well as those we’ll rely on in the future.

By attending .conf18, I’ll get the training and education in a single week that would otherwise require multiple courses and sessions throughout the year.

I’ll also be able to:

Learn how to properly architect our Splunk deployment Hear about new ways to approach data analytics, in addition to useful data technologies Look at new add-ons, which can deliver more value for money to our business Meet with Splunk experts to get the latest updates and answers about challenges and pain points Have the opportunity to connect with thousands of other attendees and hear Splunk partners talk about

how successful companies tackle and use big data

By attending .conf18, I’ll become a more valuable asset to our organization, and better leverage the Splunk platform to yield a greater ROI.

If you’d like more information about .conf18, check out https://conf.splunk.com. I’m also happy to answer any questions you may have. Please keep in mind that the sooner I register, the more we can save on on-site rates, and the greater the likelihood that we’ll secure more affordable travel and hotel rates.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your reply.

Regards,
