I believe my participation in this event is critical to bring new ideas and approaches to our organisation and further my professional development and skills. I would like to request approval to attend UKSTAR 2018.

The event run from March 12 – 13 in London.

I’ll learn about practical tools to use as well as hear experience stories from professional in the industry, their experience with failures and successes. The expo will also offer opportunities for networking and business that could have a positive impact on our organisation. By meeting with industry partners, I can find solutions to everyday issues as well as strengthen existing relationships. The conference also places emphasis on networking with other in the industry with 9 dedicated networking sessions across the 2 days.

These are the costs associated with attending UKSTAR 2018

This investment will pay off in more efficient practices, proven solutions, new insights and ideas. In addition, I can provide a report of my key takeaways and recommend actions to our team. I would appreciate your approval for this event and I will work to make sure we get the full value out of the conference.
