Re: ISSA/INTERCLEAN 2015 Attendance
I’m requesting approval to attend our profession’s most comprehensive event, ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America 2015, taking place October 20-23 in Las Vegas, NV. It offers four days of finding new products and services, learning industry and management best practices, as well as building my professional network. It’s the one event that brings together the entire cleaning industry and can result in an immediate ROI.
In particular, I’d like to focus on finding solutions or best practices that could benefit these projects:
· [add project or initiative]
· [add project or initiative]
· [add project or initiative]
In addition to over 45 seminars and workshops, ISSA/INTERCLEAN offers the chance to problem solve with our vendors and partners. The exhibition features more than 700 vendors from 30 countries, making it an ideal place to pick up new ideas to drive better results.
Here’s an approximate breakdown of this investment:
Airfare: $[calculate fee via travel site/airline webpage]
Hotel: $[calculate fee at issa.com/hotels]
Transportation: (round trip from airport to hotel) $50
Meals: ($85 a day) $340
Registration Fee: $[calculate fee at issa.com/register]
TOTAL: $[insert]
Peers say that attending ISSA/INTERCLEAN delivers incredible value. I’ll learn how to implement the latest best practices and discover new trends. I’ll develop better contacts with industry experts, and, I’ll get a hands-on opportunity to evaluate the latest innovations to see which fit our needs/goals.
These “wins” will pay off in the form of [higher sales, streamlined practices, tested solutions, increased efficiencies] and an expanded network of peers to call upon when we need them―all invaluable to our organization.
I’m currently working on ways to reduce expenses, including free exhibit access due to our ISSA membership status and early registration, hotel discounts, free shuttle service through the hotel block, and meals with vendors. I’ll also submit a post-conference report that will include an executive summary, major takeaways, tips, and a set of recommendations based on what I gathered during ISSA/INTERCLEAN. I also can share relevant information with key personnel.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your reply.
