Dear [your manager’s name],
I’d like to attend AWS re:Invent 2023, November 27–December 1, in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ll learn a lot during the week, both attending learning sessions and connecting with AWS experts. Participating in this conference will help me:
Boost proficiency in core AWS services, like Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Aurora.
Apply technical best practices on topics such as cloud architecture, continuous deployment, large-scale migrations, machine learning, and more.
Gain valuable hands-on experience at technical bootcamps, self-paced labs, two-hour workshops, and hackathons, which I can bring back to my team.
Here’s a breakdown of estimated costs:
Domestic airfare estimate: $600
Hotel (five nights at the average re:Invent rate): $192 per night/$960 + tax and fees
Registration fee: $2,099
Total: $3,659
After the conference, I’ll circulate a report with a summary of what I learned and how it could benefit our company.
Thank you for considering my request to attend this event.
Looking forward to your reply.
[your name]
