Dear [Manager’s Name],

I’m writing to request approval to attend the MuseumNext Digital Collections Summit, which takes place online on 25–26 September 2025. This virtual conference brings together leading museum professionals from around the world to share insights, strategies, and tools that can directly benefit our work.

Here’s why I believe attending will be valuable for our organisation:

Relevant Learning: The sessions focus on digital collections, audience engagement, and best practices that align with our current projects and future goals.

Actionable Takeaways: I will gain practical knowledge from experts on important developments like Artificial Intelligence.

Cost-Effective Format: The virtual format eliminates travel costs and time away from the office while still offering access to industry leaders and peer networking.

On-Demand Access: All sessions will be recorded, ensuring I can fit sessions around work and revisit the most important sessions.

The cost of registration is £130 for me as an individual, or our entire team can attend for £260. Given the quality of content and the ability to bring back notes, resources, and new contacts, I’m confident this represents an excellent return on investment for our department.

Thank you for considering this request. I’m happy to outline the sessions I’ll attend and provide a post-event summary of the key takeaways for our team.

Best regards,

[Your Name]
