Subject: ValueCentric 2017 User Conference
Hi [MANAGER],
I would like to attend ValueCentric’s User Conference - Connections 2017, which takes place May 8-10 in Orlando, FL. The conference provides a great opportunity for training, a review of best practices, a sneak peek at upcoming ValueTrak releases and new functionality, and networking opportunities with other users of the ValueTrak platform.
The training provided during the conference is more intensive and comprehensive than anything that could be accomplished by having ValueCentric come on site. The courses cover all ValueTrak features through various tracks which will allow me to focus on the ones that matter most to our company, like Data Visualization, Order Management, Scorecarding, Market Visibility, PharmacyView, Specialty reporting, Admin maintenance, Ad Hoc reporting [select 2-3 that interest you].Conference attendees will also be provided an exclusive opportunity to take a ValueTrak Certification Exam after the event has concluded (included in the conference fee). I’m confident that the conference will provide me with the education to pass this exam, and share important knowledge with colleagues and even train future users of ValueTrak.
In addition to training and best practice sessions available at the conference, I’ll have the opportunity to network with other ValueTrak users and ValueCentric staff members to exchange ideas with others in similar roles or with similar challenges. I can also meet one-on-one with the ValueCentric team to discuss unique questions or requests and ensure our needs are met.
I am seeking approval for the registration fee and travel expenditures associated with the conference. Here is a cost breakdown:
Airfare/Travel:$ [determine based on travel to Orlando from your city]
Transportation:~$75 - roundtrip taxi
Hotel:$189/night (2 nights)
Meals:$50 (breakfasts, lunches, and a group dinner is included)
Conference fee:$895 if booked before April 7th (10% discount for 3 or more attendees from our company)
TOTAL:$[calculate airfare + 75 + 378 + 50 + 895]
I would encourage we send as many users as possible to the event, but for those who cannot attend, I will meet with the team before and after I return from the event to develop action items for the conference, and report back on answers and new tips/tricks learned at the event.
Thank you for your consideration.
