Convince you Boss Devnexus 2020

Convince your Boss Devnexus 2020 Convince Your Boss (Devnexus 2020)

Inspired from Smashing Magazine - https://smashingconf.com/sf-2019/convince-your-boss Dear {{ amazingBossName }},

I would like to ask for your approval to attend Devnexus 2020 (http://devnexus.com) that will be taking place in Atlanta on February 19—21. While there are a number of enterprise developer conferences to choose from, the insights and material presented and discussed there are exactly what our team needs to become more efficient, stay ahead of competition and avoid unnecessary costs like technical debt. This is the 16th year that this conference is being run. Its established now as the largest java and java ecosystem conference in the USA

Unlike large scale conferences which often can be disorganized and have subpar sessions, Devnexus is very focused and well-curated. Many of the speakers are Published Authors, Java Champions, Globally Recognised speakers and Developer community leads. With 12 full day workshops and 15 concurrent tech tracks this conference is truly the best.

Advantages for our company

If given the chance to attend the conference, it will help our company to:

  • Learn from industry leaders and OEM core teams
  • Design better processes to design, build, debug and deploy faster
  • Inspire new ideas to use on projects within our company My personal advantages

As far as why I’m excited at the prospect of attending this conference:

  • There’s an impressive line-up of experts who are working with technologies, tools and methodologies we use daily
  • Hands-on workshops with experts give me an opportunity to learn new practices and techniques and improve my skills right away
  • The friendly, intimate spirit of the conference make it easy to interact with speakers and ask questions
  • As the conference attracts seasoned developers, I’m excited to learn from everyone and discover their experiences and best practices from their projects
  • Because software development is changing rapidly, it’s important to learn what’s possible and current in the ecosystem

I couldn’t be more excited to attend this one, and I’m quite certain that it’s a good investment in training for our entire company.
