Subject: Request to attend LeadDev Berlin
Hi [MANAGER’S NAME],
I am writing to kindly ask for your approval to attend the upcoming LeadDev Berlin conference taking place on [EVENT DATES].
LeadDev is the only mainland European conference created specifically for engineering managers and tech leads. It brings together top engineering leaders to share real stories and practical lessons on building effective teams, managing change, and staying ahead in a fast-moving industry.
The agenda includes topics that are directly relevant to my role, such as:
- AI for engineering leaders
- Sustainable velocity and delivery
- Security and resilience
- Mentoring and coaching
- Leadership through change
Speakers include Emma Bostian, Bruce Wang, and James Stanier, along with leaders from top global companies.
Alongside the talks, there are interactive sessions like micro workshops, table talks, and speed coaching. Plus, I’ll have the chance to connect with over 700 peers who are solving the same challenges we face.
After the conference, I’ll share a short report with the most valuable insights and ideas we could apply to our work. If other colleagues might benefit, LeadDev also offers group discounts for teams of four or more.
Thanks for considering this request. LeadDev feels like a strong investment in my growth and in the impact I can bring to our team.
Best regards,
[YOUR NAME]
