Blog: How to Convince Your Boss to Let You Attend INBOUND

Screenshot 2023-06-09 at 10.38.52 AM.png

Hey there, community! 

 

Do you want to attend INBOUND? Do you need your manager's approval to attend this amazing event? 

 

The INBOUND team has put together a letter that you can send to your boss with convincing arguments of why you should be able to attend this event! 

 

They also share a few talking points that you add to your email, such as: 

  • Pitch INBOUND as a team offsite: Instead of pitching the event for yourself, why not pitch it as an opportunity for your entire team to learn together and bring actionable takeaways to your company?
  • Use Personal Examples: Have you been to a similar event? Share examples of how these past events were enriching for your personal and professional development. 
  • Ask for Formal Approval: If you have a close relationship with your boss, you could try to make your case over Zoom or in person. 

If having written documentation helps, check out the letter the team put together!

We would love to hear from you, past and aspiring INBOUND attendees. 

1) How did you convince your manager (or yourself if you're a business owner) to go to INBOUND? Which arguments did you find effective?

2) Do you have any experiences you would like to share with the Community?
