Dear <insert-boss’-name-here>:

I know you are very busy, but I need to talk to you about attending Datacor’s Users' Conference, Interaxions. I feel it is very important for our company's future and success. Attending this Conference helps ensure effective utilization of the software solutions we invested in, plus, it will enhance my professional development so I can be a more valuable asset to the company.

I know that we may not have budgeted for this, but it is a very cost-effective investment and is low-cost in comparison to other Conferences. By attending, I will meet other Chempax users and learn how they improved processes and product usage at their facilities. I will learn practical software skills and techniques from Datacor's technical staff. I will find out the future direction of Datacor's products and how it will impact our company.

I will also have the opportunity to meet Datacor Partners offering tools and solutions that could dramatically improve our processes. When I return from the conference, I will be able to share the Conference proceedings CD with the rest of our team so everyone in our group can benefit from this experience.

This is the only place where I can learn and gather all of this information that is specifically relevant to our company. By attending the Conference, I can do all of this in just a few days. When you consider that the sessions themselves are worth hundreds of dollars, you know that we are getting a great deal. This Conference is my only chance to take advantage of such a highly focused, targeted event.

If you're concerned about the return on investment, consider this. If I can boost my own productivity by just 5% - a very conservative number - that translates to two hours per week, or 100 hours per year, and that's just pure manpower, never mind all the technology advances and skills I'll learn.

It will cost us $ <insert package price here> for the Conference fee, plus travel and a few days out of the office. This is minimal compared to the amount of money invested in our information systems. And the better I understand these systems, the more output I would be able to produce. The Conference is three days of highly focused product training.

I hope you can see how attending the Interaxions Users' Conference can make a significant impact on our productivity and software usage. I hope you will approve this critical investment in our future.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

<your name here>
