Re: Approval to attend Splunk .conf25

Hi [Name],

I'm seeking approval to attend Splunk University, September 6 – 8 and .conf25, taking place September 8 – 11, 2025 at the Thomas M. Menino Convention and Exhibition Center, formerly known as the Boston Convention and Exposition Center in Boston, Massachusetts (same location, new name!).

This year, .conf25 is zeroing in on the user experience, offering more technical sessions, additional opportunities for me to build connections with industry leaders, discover more cutting-edge innovations, and get hands-on help with the incredible tools that I use daily in my role.

I’m excited by this opportunity to bring back knowledge to our team that’ll make us more productive and efficient. By participating in .conf25, I’ll receive a year’s worth of training and education in a single week. I’ll have the opportunity to:

• Learn how to architect a more efficient Splunk deployment
• Explore new ways to approach our data analytics
• Examine new products and add-ons, enabling us to deliver even more value to our business, like Splunk AppDynamics
• Network with Splunk product experts to learn best practices and ways to solve everyday challenges
• Dive into security approaches to improve our security posture and protect against cyber threats
• Learn how to get the most out of our Splunk investments in the Observability track, and gain complete visibility and context across the full stack of infrastructure, applications, and your digital customer experience.
• Connect with thousands of other cross-industry attendees and hear Splunk partners talk about how to maximize the value of Splunk
• Take heavily discounted certification exams.

Taking part in this program will help me use our Splunk platform more efficiently and effectively. The conference pass includes breakfast and lunch during the conference, effectively lowering the cost to the company.

If you’d like more information about the event, visit the .conf25 website. I’m also happy to answer any questions for you.

Thank you for considering this request, and please let me know if my attendance is approved at your earliest convenience.

Best,
