Subject: Professional Development Request: Web Directions Code Conference

Dear [Manager's Name],

I'd like to request approval to attend Web Directions Code, Australia's leading conference for front-end developers happening on June 12th and 13th in Melbourne and online.

The conference focuses on leading-edge technologies and practices directly relevant to our current projects, including [mention 2-3 topics most relevant to your work].

Benefits to our team include:
- Solutions to our current challenges with [specific issue]
- Skills to implement [specific technology] we've been considering
- Best practices for [relevant area] to improve our performance metrics

The conference starts at $1295 inperson, and $495 online, but if we register before March 31st, we'll also receive a free 12-month subscription to the Conffab Pro streaming platform, with access to nearly 1,000 expert presentations year-round.

There's also discounts for juniors in the team and group offers if we send a team.

I'm happy to share key learnings with the team upon my return through a presentation or documentation.

Thank you for considering this professional development opportunity.

[Your Name]
