Re:My attendance at the 2017 “Connecting with Customers” Seminar in Savannah, GA

With your concurrence, I’d like to attend the Satcom Direct “Connecting with Customers” SeminarFebruary 27- March 2, 2017 in Savannah, GA. The eventwill be one day of networking with three full days of exhibitor displays andeducational opportunitiesincluding:

  • technical sessions discussing the latest issues and resolutions impacting aircraft satellite communications for cockpit, mission and cabin, including FAA sanctioned IA renewal sessions
  • satellite communicationand troubleshooting training – theory and practical hands-on lab session utilizing the Satcom Direct “Rolling Lab”
  • demonstrations of the latest mobile app technology from Satcom Direct, including troubleshooting and operational maintenance procedures via iPad interface for 24/7/365 resolution
  • in-depth satcom hardware and network panel discussions
  • the opportunity to review innovative and advanced technology products and services on display by several aviation-based avionics exhibitors
  • an untold number of networking opportunities combining business aviation owners, operators, fleet managers, Satcom Direct engineers and suppliers all gathered in one place

It’s the single conference that brings together thesatellite communications flight departments, owners, operators, suppliers, and technicians / engineers. Satcom Direct and the conference sponsors cover the cost of conference registration for all operators, which is quite a savings for us as it includes all meals, breaks, evening receptions, and supplies needed to participate in the conference. So all we have to cover is airfare and hotel, and at a total cost of just over______to attend, it's the most cost-effective way to ensure that our team stays up-to-speed on the latest information and best practices to monitor, maintain and operate our aircraft communications and mobile apps. Additionally, Satcom Direct has arranged for the conference to qualify for FAA IA Renewal Credits so I can also get that done while I’m there.

Here’s an approximate breakdown of conference costs:

Airfare: $___
Transportation: (round trip taxi from airport to hotel)$ ___
Hotel: (3 nights at $199)$___

Meals while at the conference:FREE

Conference Registration Fee:FREE

Total: $___

To demonstrate the value of the conference, I’d be pleased to submit a post-conference report that will include asummary of conference experiences, major takeaways, best-practice tips,and a set of recommendations to maximize our current operational practices. If you would like, I can also share relevant information with key personnel throughoutour company.

Thank you for carefully considering this request, and the impact it could have on the growth and maturity of our department. I look forward to your reply.

Regards,
