Dear [Name],
I am writing to request approval to attend Qlik Connect 2026, Qlik's premier global conference in Kissimmee, Florida, April 13-15. This strategic investment would directly enhance our organization's data capabilities and increase ROI on our existing Qlik investment.
The conference presents a unique opportunity for me to help us accelerate our data transformation initiatives. Some of the highlights include:
Intensive skill development via 100+ expert-led sessions and hands-on workshops aligned with our strategic priorities
Direct access to Qlik's product roadmap and AI capabilities that could give us a competitive advantage, plus early insights into upcoming features and best practices to maximize our current Qlik investment
Two complimentary certifications (valued at $500) to validate our team's expertise
Valuable networking with industry peers and thought leaders facing similar challenges
To ensure maximum value for our organization, I will:
Create a focused learning plan targeting our key challenges and opportunities
Schedule strategic meetings with Qlik experts to address our specific use cases
Identify potential efficiency gains and cost-saving opportunities
Deliver a comprehensive team presentation and action plan post-conference
Document best practices to enhance our current workflows
Investment Summary
Early-bird Registration: $1,495 (saving $500 if registered before December 31, 2025)
Airfare: $350 (estimated average domestic airfare)
Hotel: $996 (3 nights, excluding taxes)
Meals & Materials: Included in registration
Total Investment: $2,841 (approximately $1,000 in savings with early registration)
This concentrated learning experience would typically require months of separate training sessions and consultations for me to achieve such impactful results. What I learn at Qlik Connect will immediately help us leverage data for better decision-making and operational efficiency.
I appreciate your consideration of this professional development opportunity and look forward to your response. More than happy to discuss this further.
Regards,
[Your name]
