Dear [Employer],
The East Coast Symposium takes place November 8–10, 2024, at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa.

- Re-energize myself professionally through networking
- Stay ahead of emerging topics that reflect today’s headlines
- Receive coffee breaks and lunches as part of the fee
Approximate Investment for My Attendance:
- Travel costs: $300
- Accommodation (2 nights at $192/night*): $384*
- Dinners (2 days at $25): $50

*Does not include hotel taxes & fees
**$525: Lowest rate for clinicians
I would like to request approval to attend the East Coast Symposium, as I believe it will not only keep me up-to-date on important topics and allow me to expand my professional network, but also provide practical takeaways that I can then share with my colleagues.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
