Thinking about attending JSNation, but your manager needs just a little bit more persuasion? We’ve prepared a neat template that you can use. Good luck!
Dear _(Boss)_,
I’d like to kindly ask for your approval to attend JSNation 2020 that will be taking place in Amsterdam on June 3–5. There are many conferences out there, but I’ve picked this one because I feel that the insights and learnings presented and discussed there are exactly what our team needs in our company to get more efficient, stay ahead of competition, and avoid unnecessary costs.
JSNation is a big-scale JavaScript conference (1000+ attendees) with top-notch sessions, very focused and well-curated. The event shows a strong commitment to practical sessions split into 2 tracks — general JS and NodeJS — and it also offers hands-on workshops.
The conference is going to be “the main happening of the JS scene in 2020”, and there are going to be many attendees and speakers who work for major tech companies, so as a participant I would get to see how others work, design, and build, what mistakes they’ve done in the past, and what we can learn from them.
Advantages for our company
The learnings from the conference and workshop days will help our company to:
- Improve performance and responsiveness of our web / applications,
- Design better processes to build, debug and deploy faster,
- Increase web security and reduce our surface area for attacks,
- Improve accessibility and flexibility of our front-end architecture,
- Improve the skills of employees in an in-depth, hands-on learning environment supported by the presence of field experts.
Please take a look at how companies like Reaktor see their experience with sponsoring the conference:
My personal advantages
I sincerely appreciate the opportunities to grow as a professional in our company, and I’m very excited about this conference because:
- There’s an impressive line-up of experts who are working with technologies, tools and methodologies we use daily,
- Workshops with experts give me an opportunity to learn new practices and techniques and improve my skills right away,
- The friendly spirit of the conference make it easy to interact with speakers and ask questions,
- As the conference attracts seasoned developers, I’m excited to learn from 1000+ professionals and discover their experiences and best practices from their projects,
- Because front-end is changing rapidly, I feel it’s important to learn what’s possible these days, and where the business is heading these days.
On a personal note, I’ve been following JSNation for years now — the community behind the conference has been around for more than 8 years, and their events and their YouTube channel has been my trusted source for cutting-edge development practices that helped me grow as a professional in the industry. I feel confident that I’ll bring back a ton of useful notes and takeaways for the team, and I’m looking forward to improving our efficiency and reducing unnecessary costs. The conference’s videos could be used internally as well.
I’d kindly appreciate you considering my letter, and I hope you have a moment to take a look at the website — jsnation.com — and the overview of topics covered there. I couldn’t be more excited to attend this one, and I’m quite certain that it’s a good investment in training for our entire company.
Thank you for your time.
— Yours truly __(your name)__,
