Re: Proposal to attend the Smartling Global Ready conference

Dear [insert name],

I’m writing to ask for approval to attend Global Ready 2018, the Smartling user conference. It takes place March 15, 2018 in San Francisco, CA. The full-day conference is designed to help customers get the most from their Smartling investment. It includes best practices, interactive breakout sessions, live demos and workshops. Smartling customers and partners will be there to share their knowledge about: [pick the following that are applicable to your company:]

  • Cost Savings
  • Improving Product Quality
  • Decreasing Time to Market
  • Translation Strategy & Best Practices
  • Localization Strategy & Best Practices
  • Global Marketing Strategies
  • Content Strategy & Best Practices
  • Process Optimization
  • Team & Project Management

The conference will deliver solid ROI. With insights from Smartling, we will be able to advance our team’s localization and content strategy and evangelize the benefits throughout the company. At a total cost of about $..., it’s the most cost-effective way to ensure that we’re getting the most from our Smartling investment.

I’ve been focused on finding the most effective ways to optimize our localization strategy. At Global Ready specifically, I’d like to discover new solutions that could benefit 1- [add project or initiative] and 2- [add project or initiative].

A wide range of industry experts will offer more than 30 sessions. I will also have the opportunity to problem-solve with Smartling employees and technology partners on-site.

I’ve compiled an approximate budget for this trip:

Airfare: $ 300

Transportation (taxi): $ 40

Hotel: (1 night at $200 + tax) $ 200

Meals: (included) $ 0

Registration Fee: $ 299 (Early Bird rate discount)

Total: $ 839.00

This conference will be of incredible value to our team’s initiatives. I’ll learn how to implement and use the latest features, and see what’s planned for future Smartling releases. I’ll also have a chance to network and meet marketing, development and industry experts as well as other users. I’ll be better informed of best practices, strategies, and trends in localization that will help take our team to the next level.

I will submit a post-conference report that will include a summary, major takeaways, tips and a set of recommended actions to maximize our current investment in Smartling.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your reply.

Regards,
