Hello [ boss’s name here ],

I’m reaching out to request your help to attend an amazing new conference, REFACTR.TECH in Atlanta, GA on June 6–7 [or June 5–7 if you want to include a workshop]. It is a technology conference that also focuses on creating an inclusive environment, featuring marginalized people and allies doing amazing work.

The conference provides content valuable to a wide range of experience levels and interests. Technical topics of interest from intermediate to senior developers, alongside beginner-friendly sessions and workshops, are all part of the event. It includes a combination of workshops, keynote, and track sessions to expand knowledge, hone technical skills, and make important connections.

At REFACTR.TECH I will have the opportunity to highlight [your company name] while meeting amazing people. When I return, I’ll be able to contribute to our expanding knowledge and skills as well as make a significant contribution to our company culture and the broader tech community.

The cost of my attendance would be:

Conference: $200 (with my 20% discount, using the code “GOTO-REFACTR”)

OR

Conference plus workshop: $300 (with my 20% discount, using the code “GOTO-REFACTR)

Thank you for your consideration! I look forward to counting our company amongst forward-thinking, supportive and encouraging places to work.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

[Your Name]

We hope to see you at REFACTR.TECH!
