REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE

Dear (INSERT MANAGER’S NAME),

I’ve discovered an opportunity that will help improve how our company is using analytics to improve quality and performance. With your approval I would like to attend Minitab Insights Global Conference 2023 from May 1-3 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

This global, next-generation analytics conference is the preeminent event for data analysts, statisticians, and engineers. The conference is expected to bring over 400 thought leaders, industry experts, Minitab customers and partners, and SMEs from around the world. All are using Minitab solutions and services to explore new frontiers and solve business challenges like the ones we face. There’s no better place to deepen my knowledge and expertise in analytics, which will greatly add value to our company.

There are more than 40 presentations to choose from, demos, workshops, and engaging networking opportunities. I can tailor my schedule to focus on the content most relevant to my role and our company’s vision. There are also interactive keynotes featuring executives from top brands like Amazon and hands-on training opportunities. This conference will enable me to expand my current statistical analysis and business improvement skills.

Some subjects I intend to explore are:
