Lifeboat Partner Conference Proposal

I’d like your approval to attend Lifeboat Distribution’s annual Partner Summit 2014 East on October 22 –

This event gives me the opportunity to meet with our Lifeboat sales team, network with channel executives from some of our leading software lines, and prospect for new lines with emerging vendors.

The event comprises a vendor fair in a setting where it’s really easy to speak at length with vendors and have constructive one-on-one business and technical discussions. There are also formal technical and sales presentations from Intel, Sophos, Veeam, and Vision Solutions, who are the marquee sponsors of the summit.

There is no conference registration fee and Lifeboat also covers the cost for my hotel room for the event, so we’ll just have to cover my transportation costs.

I would need to be in Atlantic City for the opening Vendor Fair on the evening of Wednesday October 22 and for the main Summit on the Thursday. I would return on Friday October 24.

Here’s an approximate breakdown of expenses:

The sooner I can make my travel arrangements the better should be the air fares prices.

I’ll submit a post-conference report covering the event that will include executive summary, major takeaways, tips, and a set of recommendations. I will share relevant information with key personnel throughout the company.

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