Dear [Name]:

An upcoming event that I would like to attend is RSA’s annual EMEA GRC customer and partner event, the Archer Summit on November 3rd, the day before RSA Conference EMEA in Abu Dhabi on November 4th and 5th. Attracting the best and the brightest from around EMEA, it’s a valuable opportunity where I can connect with and learn from GRC peers about best practices and resources and also participate in the EMRA RSA Conference. The focus is also to learn how to improve our security posture and practice.

This event would be the perfect way for me to gather knowledge and insights on [insert priorities here]. In addition, it will provide us with the opportunity to expand our organization’s professional network of GRC professionals, many of whom have overcome challenges we face today, helping us save precious time and resources. Finally, the content at this event allows me to earn CPE credits and enhance my career development.

The Archer Summit is totally free of charge and will provide me with the opportunity to experience:

·  A broad range of sessions from customers and GRC experts, including Operational and Enterprise Risk, IT & Security Risk, Corporate and Regulatory Compliance, Business Resiliency, Third Party Governance, Audit, GRC Programs, with industry-specific topics and technical and advanced technical presentations

·  Hands-on labs conducted by RSA Archer experts

·  Interactions with experts and peers to understand current and next-gen risks

·  Explore all that RSA has to offer with access to all RSA sessions covering Advance Security Operations Center, Identity & Access Management and more

I am seeking approval for the registration fee and travel expenditures. Here is a complete breakdown of the costs:
