SUBJECT: Advancing our Data Science & AI capabilities at posit::conf(2026)


Hi [Manager's Name],


I am writing to request your approval to attend posit::conf(2026), taking place in Houston, TX, from September 14–16.


This is the premier event for the open-source data science community, focusing on the human ingenuity behind today's most powerful technical tools. As our team continues to leverage R, Python, and AI, attending this conference will allow me to bring back the latest best practices in craft and code that can directly improve our workflows.


Specifically, I plan to focus on:

  • Workshop Day (Sept 14): I will participate in a deep-dive, hands-on workshop to sharpen my skills in [specific topic, e.g., Quarto, Shiny, or Production ML].
  • Technical Breakthroughs (Sept 15–16): I’ll attend sessions led by industry experts on turning complex data into meaningful solutions and real-world impact.
  • Efficiency & Best Practices: I will learn how top teams are integrating open-source tools to solve challenges similar to the ones we face in [mention a current project or department goal].


Estimated Costs:

  • Registration: $[Amount] (Early bird pricing available)
  • Travel/Hotel: $[Amount]
  • Total: $[Amount]


You can find more details about the event and the program at [link to website]. 
I am confident that the knowledge I gain will more than offset the cost of attendance.


Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your thoughts.


Best regards,


[Your Name]
