Hi [Manager Name],

I would like to attend the 2018 INFORMS Business Analytics Conference,April 15-17, 2018 at the Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Baltimore.

INFORMS Analytics Conference brings together 1,000 leading analytics professionals and industry experts (executives, analysts, managers, researchers, data scientists, modelers, etc.) to share ideas, network, and learn about the possibilities that can be generated by analytics.It is where analytics professionals across all industriesconverge to learn from the brightest minds in the field.Past and present speakers include top level employees from American Airlines, IBM, UPS, Syngenta, a panel moderated by Harvard Business Review, and more.

At the conference, wewill be able to discover new ideas, create meaningful connections, learn new skills, and experience hands-on learning in technical workshops and in-depth case studies that can be applied in our day-to-day work. It offers practical, technical sessions that address the business challenges that we face every day and which will enable me to further increase my level of productivity and success.

This is the event for analytics professionals and it would be beneficial to our company to be in attendance.

There are many benefits to our company for someone to be in attendance. Here are just a few:
