Dear [Supervisor],

I would like to attend the IAPP Europe Data Protection Congress in Brussels this November.

The Congress is a leading European data protection event held by the world’s largest data privacy organisation. It features best-in-class education and networking for professionals like me. Here are some benefits for our organisation:

· Keeping the company abreast of our top challenges—including the GDPR. With more than 40 sessions on the top privacy issues organisations are facing, I’ll discover best practices and emerging trends in the industry.

· Making valuable connections. Exclusive networking will allow me to connect with others and learn new approaches to handling data protection issues similar to ours.

· Sharing insights with co-workers. I’ll be able to bring back what I learn and educate others within the organisation.

· Implementing new knowledge and skills within the organisation. I hope to focus on finding solutions or best practices that could best benefit these projects: [add project or initiative], [add project or initiative] and [add project or initiative].

After reviewing the programme, I’ve identified these sessions that will help me gain a deeper understanding of how to improve our data protection practices, including:

· [Add session]

· [Add session]

· [Add session]

If I register by 6 October, I’ll be eligible for the “early bird” registration rate—$200 off the regular price.

After attending, I’ll gladly share what I’ve learned with my colleagues and key personnel and will help identify how we can implement the best practices, skills and ideas I return with.

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

Regards,

[Your Name]
