Dear [Manager’s Name],
I am writing to request your approval to attend the 21st Annual Pharma Forum, taking place March 23-26, 2025 in Boston, MA. This conference unites professionals involved in the planning, organization, and execution of meetings and events for bio/pharma, healthcare, and life sciences companies, addressing the unique challenges around compliance in our industry.

With the sessions I’ll participate in and learn from and the connections I’ll meet onsite, this investment will enhance my productivity and inspire new ideas, which will impact our bottom line. I’ll return to the office with tangible takeaways to implement and share along with a full year of access to the conference’s recorded and PDF presentations.
