Dear Manager Name,

I am writing to request permission to attend the SolidWorks World Conference and Exhibition 2013 - the premier global event for 3D design, simulation, and product development - because I believe the conference's opportunities for technical training and networking with SolidWorks users worldwide can help us accelerate our SolidWorks skills development and gain a competitive edge.

With more than 200 technical training sessions to choose from, attending this conference is the next logical step in our efforts to improve our SolidWorks skills and increase our productivity. As you know, we successfully implemented SolidWorks software recently and employ the SolidWorks solution productively. The training sessions at the conference represent a complementary extension to our initial transition to SolidWorks and can accelerate our SolidWorks skills development at a faster rate than we can by using the tool day-to-day.

I can review the schedule of technical sessions with you so we develop a customized agenda that relates most directly to our work and can help to improve my individual design skills, as well as those of my colleagues, resulting in greater contributions to our company's overall success.

The conference also provides networking opportunities with SolidWorks users and experts from around the world. The SolidWorks Community is a powerful resource, providing access to local chapters of the SolidWorks User Group Network, online discussion forums, and SolidWorks blogs. Becoming an integral part of this community will greatly benefit our organization as well.

Many conference attendees report productivity gains related to attending SolidWorks World - to be held January 20-23, 2013 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin in Orlando, FL - in the range of 4 to 6 percent, which would definitely offset the travel expenses (airfare and accommodations), attendance fees, and miscellaneous costs related to attending the conference and provide time and cost savings throughout the years to come.

Take a closer look at what your design and engineering team will learn by attending any of the 200+ technical training and hands-on sessions at SolidWorks World. Check out presentation videos from previous SolidWorks World Events.

Thank you in advance for your consideration, and please let me know if you need additional information on specific conference opportunities and activities. I look forward to your positive response to my request.

Sincerely,
