Subject: ARC Forum
Please approve travel and registration to attend ARC's Upcoming Forum to be held on XXXXXXXXX. I have reviewed the agenda as well as the companies participating in this forum and am confident that this experience will provide new insights for improving operational performance for our company.
ARC Advisory Group is the leading research and advisory firm for our industry. They have a global presence with analysts and consultants who have a deep understanding of the issues we are facing at our company. Their extensive client base and knowledge of the business dynamics and technology trends gives them the resources to assemble a premier event.
ARC's Forum offers several different programs with multiple tracks that will enable me to explore our issues from different perspectives. Many of our industry peers are presenting case examples on how they are solving problems and several should apply to our company. I will learn about new technologies, business practices, and emerging standards. Also, senior executives from our leading suppliers will be at this forum and I plan to network with them for help with our issues and gain an understanding of their future directions. This is an opportunity to develop valuable relationships with our peers and supplier executives. This event provides an ideal environment for me to collaborate, share ideas, and find new ways to attack our most vital problems.
Upon my return, I would be happy to abstract my forum experience and make a short presentation at our next staff meeting so others could benefit as well. ARC has offered to participate in the staff meeting via teleconference to answer any questions that may come up.
The estimated total cost of this trip is approximately XXXX including air fare and hotel. We are an ARC Client so I can use one of our complimentary tickets to cover the registration fee.
If you have any questions about the agenda or any other aspect of ARC Forum, please let me know, and I would be happy to share the conference literature with you. You can also view the forum website at www.arcweb.com.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
<insert-your-name-here>
