Dear [insert name of supervisor],
 

With myself and the team in mind, I came across Intuit Mailchimp’s upcoming conference, FROM: HERE, TO: THERE, which I thought could be a really valuable learning opportunity. The one day event on the 23 July at W Sydney includes keynotes, panels and Q&A sessions from highly esteemed marketing professionals and business experts, with networking and 1:1 meetings with Intuit Mailchimp experts.
 

I believe the day will provide practical tactics alongside other key insights that will benefit our marketing strategy and positively impact our business as well as inform decision making. May the pass may be considered as an educational credit and therefore a work expense?


Thanks,
