Hi Boss’ Name: I’d like to attend a digital marketing event called Concept ONE on September 20th in Sioux Falls. They’re bringing in national experts on topics like emerging marketing technology and social media trends for a one-day conference. These are thought leaders who usually speak at big urban conferences, but they’ll be right here in South Dakota. Not only will it be a small event with opportunities to engage with the speakers one-on-one, but the registration fee is only $275 - a fraction of what big marketing conferences usually cost.

The conference will focus on actionable items, so I’ll be learning new ideas and skills that I can put to work for our team right away. I’ll also have the chance to network with about 200 other attendees in marketing and business from around the state.

The organizers are still announcing speakers, but so far the lineup includes Douglas Karr from the Dell Luminaries podcast and The MarTech Blog; Andrea Vahl, author of Facebook Marketing All-In-One for Dummies; and Phil Gerbyshak, an author and national LinkedIn expert. Last year they had breakout speakers from CloudFlare and Walmart Labs.

Concept ONE will be a great professional development opportunity. The cost is low, the opportunity is unique, and I’ll be able to learn from experts at a local event instead of taking time to travel to a larger, more expensive conference in a big city. Plus, I’ll bring back an overview of what I’ve learned and actionable takeaways for the team.

Thanks for considering my request. Can we meet for 15 minutes later this week to talk more?

Sincerely,

Your Name
