Welcome to edit this text to ask your manager's approval and/or sponsorship for your attendance to our Symposium. We hope this helps you take the time to keep developing professionally. 

Dear [Manager's Name],

I’m seeking for your approval to attend 18th Project Management Symposium organised by PMI Singapore Chapter on 16-17 November 2023. The theme for this year is “The Alchemy of Project Management”. 

This prestigious event brings subject matter experts from across different fields and provides an excellent platform to discuss economy and industry trends, latest developments, best practices and future trajectory in Project, Program and Portfolio Management, and Leadership. Here is their brochure: https://bit.ly/PMISGCh-Symposium23

There are ample benefits that I will acquire, for example: 

• gain new perspective & a practical toolkit which I can apply to work in our organisation right away 

• learn from leading experts with their stories, professional skills expertise & industry trends, plus complimentary access to the video recordings and materials after the event. 
  
• expand professional networks with around 400 Project/Program/Portfolio Management Professionals, Executives, Scholars & Practitioners 

• earn 16 PDUs (Professional Development Units) to maintain my [insert the PMI certification(s) you hold] certification

I intend to participate the event [choose: In-person at Marina Bay Sands or Virtually]. 

They offer discounted corporate registration for 3+ people if we reach out to them. The investment for me to participate individually is SGD [xx, please choose the rate
       - for In-person rate https://pmi.org.sg/registration-physical-symposium2023
       - for Virtual rate  https://pmi.org.sg/registration-virtual-symposium2023

I strongly believe my attendance is critical, not only for my professional development, but to improve daily work in our organisation.  If required, I’ll submit a post-event report with an executive summary, major takeaways and a set of recommendations. I’ll also share relevant information with key people in our organisation. 

I appreciate your approval and will work to make sure we get the full value out of this learning event. 

Yours sincerely,
