Professional Development Opportunity: NY Tech Summit

Dear [First Name],

As you know, continued employee training and development is crucial in order to continue to effectively serve the needs of our customers both within and outside the organization. For that reason, I’m proposing that I attend NY Tech Summit, taking place Month XX-XX in upstate New York.

Here are a few ways this investment will pay off for [company name]:

· I can attend course sessions taught by industry experts to learn the best practices and implementation of technology to drive business success such as leadership and growth, security and information management, staffing, organizational Innovation, building strategic partnerships and more.

· I’ll have a chance to research and view product demonstrations from information technology vendors that can serve our current and future IT needs.

· I have the opportunity to attend roundtable discussions so I can network with my peers and talk to experts in the field about issues directly related to our organization.

I understand that we have a limited budget set aside for professional development. When compared to the cost of other conferences, the cost of sending me to NY Tech Summit is very reasonable:

Registration: $

Airfare: $

Hotel: $

Meals: $

*Please note while planning your hotel stay that NY Tech Summit reserves a block of rooms at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino at a reduced rate. While planning your meals, please note that breakfast, lunch and a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres are provided on the first day of the conference and breakfast is provided on the second.

Total travel costs are: $
