Ignite User Conference Proposal
I’m writing to ask you for approval to attend the Palo Alto Networks annual user conference, Ignite,
June 12-15, 2017 in Vancouver, B.C. In its fifth year, Ignite is the largest gathering of nextgeneration security experts in the world. The entire community of attendees will include many
security industry experts, Palo Alto Networks product experts, and some of the most experienced Palo
Alto Networks customers presenting their stories to help you address your toughest security
challenges, share best practices, provide hands-on training, highlight new innovations, and lots more.
In particular, at Ignite I’d like to focus on finding solutions or best practices that could benefit these
projects underway at our organization:

In addition to participating in 50+ breakout sessions with Palo Alto Networks product experts,
customers, and partner speakers, the conference will give me the ability to problem solve with peers
in our industry. The hands-on labs offer an ideal place to network and to pick up new ideas from Palo
Alto Networks technology partners so that we can increase productivity and security efficacy from
our implementation, and maximize the return on our Palo Alto Networks investment.
Here’s an approximate breakdown of the travel and expense-related conference costs:

This conference should deliver incredible value. Also, the earlier I can register, the cheaper it will
be for me to attend. I’ll submit a post-conference report that will include an executive summary,
major takeaways, tips, and a set of recommendations to maximize the return on our current
investments in Palo Alto Networks. I can also share relevant information with key personnel
throughout the company.
Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your reply.
