Subject Line: Approval Request: Ontic Summit 2026
Hi [Decision Maker Name],
I’m requesting approval to attend Ontic Summit 2026, taking place in Austin, Texas, from March 23–25, 2026.
As Ontic clients since [Year], we’ve leveraged [XYZ solutions], and this event is the most impactful way to learn how the Ontic Platform can further support our security goals while maximizing our technology investment.
Ontic Summit brings together peers from leading organizations for three days of learning, networking, and hands-on training. In addition to gaining practical strategies for optimizing our existing technology and aligning resources to strengthen team collaboration, I’ll also have the opportunity to connect directly with peers from Fortune 1000 companies and benchmark our program against leading organizations.
The agenda (launching in November) will feature ASIS CPE-accredited sessions on topics such as AI use cases, understanding the pathway to violence, and elevating EP programs, along with a full day of hands-on product training. The insights I gain will be immediately applicable to strengthening our risk mitigation efforts and ensuring we maximize the value of our Ontic investment.
Attending will also help me meet my annual professional development goals and bring back actionable insights tailored to our program’s needs. Beyond the three days in Austin, the strategies and connections I’ll bring back will continue to deliver value well into the future.
The estimated investment is:
| Travel Cost (airfare + $30 transportation) | $X |
| Hotel ($339/night at Austin Marriott Downtown) | $X |
| Summit Registration ($899 All Access) | $X |
| Total: | $X |
Following the conference, I will provide an executive summary report highlighting key takeaways, best practices, and recommendations for maximizing our Ontic investment. I’ll also share relevant insights with key stakeholders across the company.
Thank you for your consideration. Please let me know if I have your approval to attend. I’d like to finalize arrangements by [XX/XX] to secure the lowest travel rates.
