Dear <Manager’s Name>,
I would like to attend the 2015 LightShow West Trade Show & Conference taking place October 21-22, 2015 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
For more than 10 years, LightShow West has focused its product and educational offerings on the specific needs of West Coast lighting designers, architects and engineers. The event's 30+ seminars and roundtables are led by some of the most well-known experts and thought-leaders in the lighting industry and address topics I need to stay current and relevant in my work. In addition, the seminars are accredited education sessions that will allow me to receive all the CEUs / Learning Units I need in one place.
Specifically, the courses I am most interested in taking include:
<Add courses you wish to attend here along with credits you'll receive.>
The exhibit floor will feature 200+ manufacturers from around the world offering hands-on experiences with the latest lighting designs and technology – information that I can immediately apply to <insert projects that will benefit>. I will have the opportunity to meet with many of these companies and discuss their products and services, virtually eliminating the time and cost of future trips to each of these vendors separately.
The seminars, discussions with manufacturers and numerous networking events will all allow me to form lasting connections with industry experts and colleagues that will prove beneficial to my work and our company down the road. The best part? Access to the seminars, expo hall and networking is free.
<Add this section if needed.> While there is no registration fee for the exhibit hall or seminars, there are some other costs involved. I hope that you will agree that the benefits are worth the expenses.
Here is the approximate breakdown of costs:
Roundtrip Airfare and / or Transportation: $
Hotel: $
Roundtable Discussion fees: $
Meals: $
TOTAL: $
The opportunity for me to review the latest products and gain knowledge that I can share with my team and our organization makes LightShow West a wise investment, which will yield rich dividends for our team and our company.
Thank you for your consideration.
