Convince Your Boss

Dear {Name},

I’d like to attend the upcoming ONE Summit taking place April 29 – May 1, 2024 in San Jose, California. I’ve researched many conferences and found that this is the ONE event for networking technology across Access, Edge, and Cloud powered by Open Source.

Nearly 500 talented individuals from across the ecosystem will gather to share learnings, highlight innovation, and discuss the future of open source networking — including 5G/6G, Industry 4.0, Security best practices, Public Infrastructure, as well as cloud native and other new networking technologies that will impact our organization.

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

• ONE Summit offers a variety of sessions, including presentations, hands-on tutorials, deep-dive technical lectures, and visionary keynotes from industry leaders. Attending these sessions will allow me to build my knowledge and learn from other community members around best practices, hear about success stories from across the ecosystem, and collaborate with my peers on new technologies and business models.
• The infamous “hallway track” at ONE Summit will allow me to meet the top technical minds in the ecosystem. I hope to meet others that might face the same challenges and problems I do so that 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.

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 or concerns. I hope we can make this opportunity work.

Thanks,

{Your Name}
