Dear Manager,

I hope you're doing well! In line with my career development and enhancing my impact at [Your Company], I'd like to request approval to attend the Food Forward 2024 conference, hosted by NL Eats Community Outreach Inc., on September 28-29 in St. John’s, NL.

Food Forward 2024 is the largest conference in Atlantic Canada focusing on critical topics like food insecurity, AI in agriculture, sustainable practices, youth engagement, and community building. Attending this event will allow me to explore the latest innovations, network with industry leaders, and bring back valuable insights to apply to the organization.

I truly hope this can be considered as part of the learning budget to support my professional development.

I’d appreciate your quick feedback. I’m eager to share my learnings and actionable strategies with the team after the event.

Best Regards,
[Your Name]
