Dear [Manager's Name],

I’m requesting approval to attend Cisco Live 2027 in Las Vegas, June 6–10.

Why does this matter now?

We are at a point where AI is the new operational baseline. I need to get hands-on with the latest architecture to reduce our deployment friction so I can be prepared for scaling challenged before they become bottlenecks.

My focus at Cisco Live will be on:

  • Maximizing ROI: Direct access to Cisco engineers and experts creates an opportunity to troubleshoot challenges, identify efficiencies, and get more value from our existing technology stack.
  • Preparing for what’s next: Sessions focused on AI, emerging capabilities, and Cisco’s technology roadmap can help ensure our future plans align with industry best practices and evolving business needs.
  • Bringing value back to the team: After the event, I’ll share a concise recap of actionable strategies, relevant product insights, and opportunities we can apply to our work.
