Convince Your Boss

Want to attend Spinnaker Summit 2022, but not sure how to bring it up with your boss? We’ve published a sample letter below to help make the process easier. See you in Detroit!

Dear {Name},

I’d like to attend Spinnaker Summit 2022 taking place October 24-25, in Detroit, Michigan. I’ve researched many conferences and found this is the ONLY technical AND business conference focused on modern software delivery techniques using Spinnaker— with content from the community for service providers, enterprises, and cloud providers.

Nearly 800 talented individuals from across the ecosystem will gather to share learnings, highlight innovation, and discuss the future of continuous delivery.

Here’s how I envision my attendance at Spinnaker Summit strengthening our company:

• Spinnaker Summit offers a variety of sessions, including presentations, deep-dive technical lectures, and visionary keynotes from industry leaders. Attending these sessions will allow me to build my knowledge and learn best practices from other community members. 
• The “hallway track” at Spinnaker Summit will allow me to meet the top technical minds in the ecosystem. I hope to meet others that face the same challenges and problems we do so we can work together to solve technical issues now and in the future. Creating strategic partnerships at the event could be very useful in the future when we encounter new challenges.

You can learn more about the conference and view last year’s keynotes and other videos here. 

Included in the registration fee is access to all keynotes and sessions, the sponsor showcase, hallway tracks and lounges. It also includes entrance to the evening networking events.

I would be happy to write a post-conference report detailing what I’ve learned and recommend any changes we can implement to improve our practices.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope we can make this opportunity work.

Thanks,

{Your Name}
