Dear <Decision-Maker Name>,
I would like to request approval to attend AeroDef Manufacturing – North America’s largest aerospace and defense event – from April 8-10, 2025, at Huntington Place in Detroit. The event offers three full days of exhibits, a Knowledge Bar and valuable networking opportunities. AeroDef Manufacturing will enable me to see the latest and greatest innovative solutions, develop my technical skills and expand my knowledge of best practices in our industry.
I can also attend several special events and educational sessions that are directly applicable to my work and will allow me to safely network with a variety of manufacturing experts and colleagues from the U.S. and around the world. The sessions are presented by leading industry speakers and cover several technical and managerial topics as well as emerging trends relevant to our business.
If I attend I’ll experience:
- 400+ leading equipment and service providers with hands-on exhibits
- Technical presentations from industry leaders in aerospace and defense
- Complimentary networking opportunities on and off the show floor
- Transformation through cross-industry collaboration and participation
The approximate investment for my attendance is as follows (complete the information as appropriate):
Travel costs: <$XXXX> (Airfare, transportation, etc.)
Accommodations: 3 nights at <$XXX> per night
Meals: 3 days at <$XXX>
Registration Fee: <$XXX>

I look forward to bringing my key takeaways back to implement and share with my colleagues.

I will also make any event and exhibitor materials available to my colleagues.
I assure you that my attendance at AeroDef Manufacturing is a wise investment. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
(your name here)
