Subject line: Here’s why I can’t miss DataDriven26.

To: [Name]

I’d like to request your approval to attend DataDriven26, the must-attend event for data leaders aiming to navigate the age of AI with clarity and confidence,  happening from February 23-25  in Orlando, FL. It will give me access to learning and networking opportunities I won’t find anywhere else since hundreds of data experts, thought leaders, and peers are expected to attend this in-person event.

By attending DD26, I’ll be empowered to bring back proven strategies and real-world insights to help your team operationalize trusted data, accelerate AI adoption, and lead enterprise transformation with greater speed and confidence. Through breakout sessions, industry roundtables, workshops, and more, I will:

• Strategic Insights: I’ll hear directly from leaders who have successfully scaled modern data architectures and AI-ready data strategies—helping us avoid common pitfalls and fast-track our roadmap.
• Hands-On Learnings: The technical workshops and leadership sessions are tailored for data professionals who are responsible for driving real business outcomes, not just maintaining infrastructure.
• Innovation Exposure: I’ll get firsthand visibility into new tools, architectures, and governance models that we could bring back and pilot.
• Peer Networking: This is a rare opportunity to benchmark against other data-driven organizations and uncover solutions to challenges we’re actively facing.

With our growing focus on [insert relevant initiative: e.g., operationalizing AI, modernizing our data infrastructure, accelerating time-to-insight], the conference offers direct value. The agenda is built around enabling real-time intelligence, agentic AI readiness, and data unification strategies—all topics that map closely to our current priorities.

DataDriven26 is where the future of AI and data will be unleashed, realized, and accelerated. Tickets are selling fast, so I hope we can secure my spot soon. Here’s what I expect the trip to cost:

• Airfare: $XXX
• Transfer between airport and hotel: $XX
• Hotel: $309 per night, plus $38 per night resort fee
• Meals: $XX each
• Conference registration fee: $XXX
• Total: $XXX

If you want to learn more about the conference, check out the DataDriven26 website. If allowed to attend, I’ll be excited to share my learnings, key takeaways, and best practices with the team when I return. Thank you for considering this request.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
