Convince Your Boss

 

[Enter Manager’s Name],

I would like your approval to attend Engineering News-Record’s Top Young Professionals Conference on March 8-10, 2023, in New Orleans, LA.

With a sharp focus on helping early career professionals like me to thrive in a rapidly changing business landscape, this is not your typical conference. Arguably, no one knows the AEC industry like ENR, whose editorial team prepared this outstanding educational program where I will learn about the strategies that drive the most successful businesses of our time.

By attending the Top Young Professionals Conference, I will have the opportunity to make connections with other AEC professionals and to expand my skills that will increase our firm’s productivity and intelligence.

While attending this event I will learn from visionary keynotes, gain new perspectives from panel discussions and participate in small group learning workshops to strengthen my skills in project management, teambuilding and leadership, and discuss strategies to foster diversity, equity and inclusion.

Between the content presented, networking opportunities with other attendees like myself, and the chance to meet ENR’s 2022 class of Top 20 Under 40 winners, this event will be an incentive to be more productive than ever. I will also be able to earn PHHs and CEUs for no additional fee.

Below is the approximate cost of attending for your review:
Hotel:               $299/night for [#] nights
Registration:   $399
Meals:              $ (all meals except dinners are included in the registration fee)
Airfare:            $
Total:               $

Our company’s presence at this event represents a valuable opportunity to learn strategies for project success and connect with potential vendors, suppliers, and customers. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you in advance for your support of my professional development.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
