Get your WeAreDevelopers World Congress attendance approved

Dear [Manager],

I’d like to attend WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America, taking place September 23–25, 2026 in San José, CA. This event is one of the largest developer conferences in the world and will bring together over 10,000 developers and 500+ expert speakers from leading tech companies and open-source communities. It’s a valuable opportunity for me to deepen my technical skills, learn best practices directly from industry leaders, and bring back insights that will strengthen our team’s work.

Here are some specific reasons why attending would be beneficial:

• I can choose from a wide range of hands-on sessions across AI, cloud, architecture, DevOps, security, frontend, backend, data, and more—covering both foundational and advanced topics relevant to our projects.
• I’ll learn how engineering teams at top companies solve complex real-world problems through detailed case studies, architecture walkthroughs, and live coding sessions.
• I can bring back practical patterns, frameworks, tools, and workflows that we can apply immediately to improve productivity, reduce technical debt, and speed up development.
• I’ll have the chance to exchange ideas with senior engineers, tech leads, open-source maintainers, and developer advocates facing similar challenges. These conversations often lead to new approaches and solutions we wouldn’t find elsewhere.
• I’ll stay up-to-date with emerging trends in AI-driven development, cloud-native architecture, automation, and modern engineering practices—helping us make better technical decisions moving forward.
• I can explore new tools and products in the expo area and evaluate potential solutions for our team before we invest time or budget.

Attending WeAreDevelopers World Congress is a cost-effective way to accelerate my learning and bring high-value knowledge back to the team. The event offers different ticket tiers and early pricing options, which can help minimize overall cost.

Here’s a breakdown of estimated costs:

• Round-trip domestic airfare: ~$500–$650
• Hotel (three nights in San José): ~$230 per night / ~$690 + tax and fees
• Conference pass: ~$500 (Super Early Bird and Early Bird discounts available)

Estimated total: ~$1,690–$1,840

After the event, I will prepare a summary of key takeaways, share relevant insights with the team, and propose ways we can apply the learnings to our current work.

Thank you for considering my request to attend WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America. I’m excited about the opportunity and look forward to your reply.
