The hardest part of attending is often the ask. We've written it for you.

Below is a short, editable justification you can copy into an email to your manager. It frames the Bootcamp as what it is — a working day that sends you back with AI workflows your team can use immediately — and answers the questions a budget-holder will ask before they say yes.

Your justification letter

Hi [Manager's name],

I'd like to attend the Event Leaders AI Bootcamp in Philadelphia on September 29, 2026. It's a one-day, hands-on working session built specifically for event professionals who need to move AI from experimentation into real, repeatable workflows — not another conference of keynotes and expo booths.

Here's why it's worth the day out of office:

I'll come back with usable work, not notes. The day is eight peer-led, hands-on labs across the workflows we actually run — registration and attendee intelligence, marketing, budgeting and ROI, operations, and more. I'll leave with AI workflows and templates I keep, plus a 90-day plan to put them to work.
It's directly applicable to our events. Everything is technology-neutral and practical, so what I build applies to our current tools and processes right away.
It's a senior, curated room. Attendance is capped at 100 vetted event leaders, so the peer conversations and benchmarking are as valuable as the sessions.
The content is aligned to CMP standards and led by working practitioners in AI for events.

The investment is $395, which covers the full day — all eight labs, materials, and meals. The only other cost is one day out of office on September 29.

I expect to return with at least one or two workflows we can implement immediately, which should pay back the cost quickly in time saved. I'm happy to share a short recap with the team afterward so the whole department benefits.

Can I get your approval to register? Seats are limited to 100 and filling, so I'd like to confirm mine soon.

Thanks for considering it,
[Your name]

If they ask, here's the short version

"What will you actually get out of it?"

Working AI workflows and templates I keep, plus a 90-day implementation plan — not just inspiration.

"How does it apply to our events?"

It's technology-neutral and built around real event workflows, so it maps to what we already do.

"What's the cost and time?"

$450 for the full day — labs, materials, and meals — plus one day out of office on September 29.

"What's the return?"

Even one workflow deployed saves hours across an event cycle; I'll share a recap so the team benefits too.

Got the green light?

Seats are limited to 100 and released first-come. Lock yours in.
