Hi [insert manager's name], 

I want to discuss an upcoming opportunity for professional growth and innovation—AU: The Design & Make Conference hosted by Autodesk. With expert-led sessions and classes, AU offers three full days of immersive learning, actionable insights, and networking.

This year, AU will be in San Diego, October 15–17. I’m confident that what I learn at AU will empower our company’s efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness.

As an AU attendee, I’ll be able to:

Learn from top experts in our industry
AU offers incredible growth opportunities. With 600+ sessions, classes, hands-on labs, meetups, and more, AU will enable me to up-level my skills and understanding of emerging technologies and sustainable practices.

Bring back my learnings to shape our future of work
I understand the importance of delivering results. I believe the insights and industry expertise I’ll gain at AU will enhance our team’s efficiency, bolster our resilience, and help us navigate change effectively to achieve our goals.

Discover the latest trends to help us stay competitive
At AU, I’ll get a deep dive into the latest trends, emerging technologies, and workflows that will help us get ahead and stay ahead while winning more business

The price for the Full Conference Pass is $2,250. 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]
