Dear [Manager’s Name],

I am writing to request your approval to attend the 23nd Annual Pharma Forum, taking place March 21-24, 2027 in National Harbor, MD. 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. After researching educational opportunities in the market, I believe my attendance at this conference will greatly benefit not only my professional development, but also the company’s continued success. 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. Here are additional benefits and the costs:

Benefits:
Pharma Forum offers two registration options for meeting planners. To assist in reducing company costs, I am opting for the Planner Pass with 8 Appointments, which is complimentary, pending I book and attend a minimum of 8 pre-scheduled appointments with sponsors and/or exhibitors onsite. This pass includes:

  • Closed Door Facilitated Interactive Summits (specific to type of planner)
  • 3 Day Conference (includes multiple tracks + numerous general sessions to choose from)
  • Expo Hall Access
  • Daily Breakfast, Lunch, and AM & PM Refreshments Breaks
  • On & Off-Site Networking Activities, Receptions & Excursions hosted by Pharma Forum and its Sponsors
  • Access to the ConnectMe App & Online Portal
  • Discounted Hotel Rate via Pharma Forum’s Room Block
  • Each session qualifies for Certified Meeting Planner (CMP) credits approved by the Events Industry Council

Costs:
The primary costs include travel expenses, accommodations, and the optional add-on certification programs, which I have outlined below:

Thank you for considering my request and I look forward to the opportunity to represent our organization at this esteemed event.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Pharma Forum Anthem Music Video

Onsite in Boston, attendees submitted Pharma Forum-related lyrics via the ConnectMe app. Then, SongDivision crafted an original, unforgettable Anthem, capturing the essence of the event (it's wicked catchy, too!), which they performed live, onsite on day three.

But that's not all! They created a professional recording and music video of the Pharma Forum Anthem, incorporating footage from the event. Watch the music video in it's entirety below!
