Hi [Name],

I’m writing to request approval to attend the Outside Days Industry Conference on May 28-29 in Denver. This newly expanded conference builds on the success of the Outside Summit and is the primary networking event for professionals in the outdoor, travel, and endurance markets.

The programming is really impressive, with conversations featuring leadership from top brands like REI, Patagonia, YETI, X Games, and so many more.

Why this event is a strategic investment: The conference features four robust programming tracks—Summit, Ignite, Attract, and Endure—designed to solve our most pressing business challenges. By attending, I will have direct access to category leaders, C-suite executives and the opportunity to bring back actionable insights.

Estimated Costs:

Industry Pass: Starts at $389 (Includes 2 days of B2B programming plus Friday festival access)
Lodging: Discounted rates are available through preferred partners close to the venue
Travel: [Insert estimated cost]

Passes are currently available at a significant discount, but rates will increase as we get closer to the event. You can view the full programming and speaker lineup here. Group ticket packages are also available if we'd like to send more team members.

Thank you for considering this request to help our team stay at the forefront of the outdoor industry.

Best,
