Sample email for your manager

Hi [insert manager's name],

There’s an upcoming growth opportunity I’d like to discuss—it’s called Autodesk University (or “AU”). The AU conference is three full days of connection, discovery, and learning, with 450+ expert-led classes.

This year, AU will be held in New Orleans, Sep. 27-29. I’m confident that what I learn at AU will empower our company to become more efficient, productive, and competitive.

As an AU attendee, I’ll be able to:

Learn from top experts in our industry
AU is an incredible growth opportunity. With 450+ classes, product demos, meetups, and more, AU will enable me to take my skills to the next level.

Bring back my learnings to boost our productivity
I understand that results are important. I believe the insights and industry expertise I’ll gain at AU will help the whole team work more efficiently.

Discover the latest trends to help us stay competitive
At AU, I’ll learn about emerging technologies, trends, and workflows that will help us get ahead of the competition and win more business.

For the Full Conference Pass, prices start at $1,750. The whole trip (flight, hotel, conference pass, etc.) would cost around [total-cost].

Let me know what you think—I’d love to discuss more during our next 1:1.

Thanks,
[Your name]
