//////////////////////////// ---[Travel NOT Required]--- //////////////////////////// SUBJECT: Request to attend a React.js Conference in San Francisco Dear [your manager's name], I’d like your permission to attend a special edition of Reactathon (reactathon.com), the largest React Conference on the West Coast, from September 7 - 8 in San Francisco. The conference features some of the biggest names in the React community from companies including Microsoft, Netflix, Flexport, NPM, and GitHub. It is held on a Friday evening + Saturday, so no work will be missed. Attending this conference will be beneficial for both my personal growth and our company’s front-end knowledge in the following areas: * Increase knowledge of performance-based architecture * Learn the fundamentals of type systems to improve developer confidence to ship fewer bugs * A/B testing at scale from Netflix * Improving accessibility with A11Y * Optimizing performance with code splitting * Improving the updates of single fields in an object with functional lenses * Data visualizations with React + D3 * Gain valuable hands-on experience in day-long technical bootcamps or three-hour workshops, which I can bring back to my team. Here’s an estimated breakdown of costs: Registration fee................................................ $349 Total............................................................ $349 After the conference, I’ll circulate a report that will include a summary of what I learned and a set of recommendations to increase our team’s productivity and improve our front-end infrastructure. Thank you for considering my request to attend this event. Looking forward to your reply, [your name] //////////////////////////// ---[Travel Required]--- //////////////////////////// SUBJECT: Request to attend a React.js Conference in San Francisco Dear [your manager's name], I’d like your permission to attend a special edition of Reactathon (reactathon.com), the largest React Conference on the West Coast, from September 7 - 8 in San Francisco.
