"NEED TO CONVINCE THE BIG WIGS TO SEND YOU TO SPICEWORLD?" - 2023 VERSION
Posted by Chad (SWZD) on Jul 26th, 2023 at 7:43 AM
SpiceWorld Conventions, Conferences, & Events
Trying to convince your manager to let you attend SpiceWorld 2023? We’ve got
your back! Our SpiceWorld team has created a customizable template you can use
to help prove the value of attending the conference. This form letter has
everything: bullet-listed prices, links to hotel deals, and
professional-sounding verbs. You’re a shoe-in with this in your arsenal. So, I
guess I’ll see you in Austin - just look for the fatally-sweaty pale guy in an
orange shirt! Just copy/paste from below, or click right here Opens a new window
to automatically download a PDF.
_________________________________________________________________________
Dear [your manager’s name],
I’d like your permission to attend SpiceWorld 2023 in Austin, TX. It’s an
invaluable, in-person event that offers live events, workshops, and vendor
interaction. The event takes place September 5-7 at the Austin Convention
Center. Here’s a link to this year’s SpiceWorld agenda.
SpiceWorld 2023 even offers special rates at hotels that are within walking
distance/near the convention center. There are also early bird discounts for
registration, which are broken down below:
* $499 through 8/3
* $749 through 9/3
* $799 after 9/3
* $149 guest pass (welcome event, conference party, happy hours)
As you can see, if I can register before August 3rd, we will save up to $300 off
the full conference registration cost! Attending Spiceworld 2023 will be
beneficial for my personal and professional growth, as well as building our IT
team’s knowledge. Some of the benefits include:
* Over 60 Tech sessions covering IT topics such as:
* Networking
* Security
* Cloud
* Virtualization
* PowerShell, and more!
* Keynote sessions by thought leaders in various fields
* Unmatched in-person networking
In addition to education sessions, conference-goers get the opportunity to learn
about products and trends from top tech brands exhibiting at the show, such as
chromeOS, LastPass, CompTIA, baramundi, ninjaOne, and Eaton. After attending
SW23, I/we/our team will be able to offer a breakdown of sessions and what we
learned about any trending or relevant information/solutions.
Thank you for considering my request and I look forward to your reply,
[your name & awesomely-spicy title]

Although this is a great letter, sadly this would not work for me. I
sincerely hope others can use this to their advantage. I think I used this
the first year to send to the President of my company and he was ALWAYS game
for anything like this or education. My current situation, same company, is
different now. :-(

Dear [your name & awesomely-spicy title],
I received your letter requesting that the company pay for your trip to
"SpiceWorld." I am denying your request.
Everything that you cite - vendor interaction, training, and hands-on
sessions - has been available here in the office and with local vendors.
Despite this, you have failed to take any advantage of these in-house
opportunities over the past year. Not once, to the best of my recollection,
have you demonstrated an interest in researching a new product or briefing
our team on some techniques that may improve our ability to perform our jobs.
Not once, that is, until it involves an interstate trip, paid hotel and
meals, and "conference party, happy hours."
Our employment agreement is a value-for-value exchange. If you desire to
increase the amount of value the company gives to you, I'd suggest that you
work on ways to increase the value you give to the company. I'll watch your
performance, initiative, and contributions over the next year. If you
demonstrate an abiding effort to self-educate, interact with vendors, and
increase the technology awareness of the team, we can discuss "SpiceWorld"
then.

Thanks, Robert.
I needed a template to respond to staff sending me requests to attend another
boondoggle so they can bring home tchotchkes to clutter their desks.
One week it's whining about no longer being able to work from home and how
they have sick kids and the office is too hot, and the next they want to go
to Texas in September at the peak of back to school, stay in hotels, and want
$149 for rail drinks and domestic beer.
I can't even get $500 approved for licenses we actually need to do business
since our revenues are down with the economy.
Helps a lot. :)

Not sure if you're serious....
A lot of folks posts how they get denied. My goal was to, perhaps, give them
some insight into how a manager might see the request if it comes out of the
blue. If they're one of those people who is always going the extra mile at
work, a request like this is more likely to be well received. If not, the
power to change how they are perceived by management is within their power.
It may not always change the result, but it certainly can remove a roadblock.

Dear [my manager's name],
Thank you for responding to my request and the overwhelming interest in my

In case it's also helpful to share IRL scenarios, there are some great
examples and mentions of Spiceworks users who have attended SpiceWorld, and
shared some of the valuable highlights (linked below)! Lots of mentions of
"learning", "ROI with Vendors", etc. Oh, and plus, you could potentially win
a ticket if you haven't submitted your entry already! Ode2joy , your comment
comes to mind!

Appreciate the effort, but these kinds of templates don't always work. To
convince the company to send you, you need to demonstrate that there is
business value to the company for having you attend. This includes things
like representing the company if you are speaking at one of the breakout
sessions (marketing advantage), pointing out specific sessions or vendors
that relate to an ongoing or future project the company has (like PowerShell
sessions that are related to the company's automation initiative), or listing
specific examples of how previous conferences have helped the organization
(for example, I ran into the CommQuotes booth when we were in the middle of
phone system project, and we ended up going with the solution they proposed).

Thanks for sharing! I passed this insight along to the SpiceWorld team for
future reference.
Also, love hearing about how Phil@CommQuotes and the CommQuotes team did a
good job in getting you connected with the right solution at SpiceWorld! So
awesome. :)

No, wasn't serious. I'm just parodying some of the the attitudes I've heard
from other executives (especially company owners) about requests like these.
The next week, they're on a plane to a conference themselves.
I did make it more contemporary by weaving in the bits about work from home
and current economic conditions which probably made it a little to
believable.
I've had my share of Comdex, FOSE, CES, and PCWorld back in the day and did
serious procurement for Federal contracting at them, but also spent my time
at the bar, listening to infomercials masked as training, and cluttering my
desk with tchotchkes. Still got my Windows NT launch T-shirt and NEXT
computer memorabilia.

Agreed. Imagine risking everything to start a business, investing your
personal funds, working hard to build a reputation and acquire clients,
sacrificing when required to meet payroll, hiring staff, dealing with taxes
and medicare and social security, and administering benefits - and then
having the nerve to go to a conference on your own dime!
Some of these company owners can be so entitled!
