Convince Your Boss

Dear {Name},

I’d like to attend KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe taking place 18-21 April, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I’ve researched many conferences and this is THE conference for gathering developers, IT professionals, and C-level leaders across the ecosystem to share learnings, highlight innovation and discuss the future of cloud native computing, including emerging trends in microservices architectures and container orchestration with technologies like Kubernetes, Prometheus, and many more.

Over 7,000 of the most talented individuals in the industry are expected to gather together in person for this event making it a great place to network with industry professionals and learn from the top cloud native experts.

Here is some data from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 to give you an idea of who attends and why:

• For 61% of attendees, this was their first KubeCon making it a great place for newcomers to the cloud native community to learn.
• The top two reasons that people attended KubeCon + CloudNativeCon were for career growth/training (58%) and networking (14%).
• 20% of attendees were developers with more than 63% in technical positions overall.

To get a feel for what the conference is all about, check out this highlight reel from Valencia in May 2022.

Here’s how I envision my attendance at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023 strengthening our company:

• KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe offers 100+ sessions including technical sessions, deep-dives, case studies, and more. Attending these sessions will allow me to build my knowledge on best practices and new trends in the rapidly evolving cloud native ecosystem.
• The “hallway track” at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe will allow me to meet technology and business leaders to collaborate on the technological challenges and implementations we’re working on while creating strategic partnerships that will benefit our company.
• This is the premier vendor-neutral cloud native event that brings together the industry’s most respected experts and key maintainers behind the most popular projects in the cloud native ecosystem. This will allow me to gain insight into the roadmap of these projects and how we can utilize them in our software stack.

Learn more about the conference and view last year’s keynotes and other videos.

If I register before February 15, 2023, the fee is only USD $1,250 for an in-person pass or USD $75 for a virtual pass. Included in the registration fee is access to all keynotes and sessions, sponsor showcase, hallway track and lounges. Breaks, lunch, and other evening networking events are available with in-person attendance.

I would be happy to write a post-conference report and share with other members of the team what I’ve learned and how we can implement these cloud native tools and techniques into our business strategy.

Thanks,
{Your Name}
