Re: Approval to Attend Splunk .conf19

Dear [Manager],

I'm writing for approval to attend the annual Splunk user conference, .conf19, taking place on
October 21–24, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

.conf19 is considered the premier destination for IT and security professionals looking to thrive
in the evolving world of digital business. 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 .conf19, I’ll receive a year’s worth of training and education in a single week, that
would otherwise require multiple courses and sessions. I’ll also:

 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 .conf19, I’ll become a more valuable asset to our organization, and can better
leverage the Splunk platform to yield a greater ROI.

If you’d like more information about .conf19, 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,
