Dear <manager-name- >:

I would like to attend Live! 360 DEV, March 10 – 14, 2014 in Las Vegas, NV. This conference has the most developer-focused content in the industry, and is comprised of these 5 co-located events:

  • Visual Studio Live! Las Vegas
  • SharePoint Live!
  • SQL Server Live!
  • Modern Apps Live!
  • Web Dev Live!

The conference is produced by the publishers of MSDN Magazine, Redmond Magazine, and Virtualization Review Magazine and is supported by Microsoft.

The 5 days of sessions and workshops at Live! 360 DEV will:

  • Grant me access to five (5) events, and literally hundreds of sessions that address the most relevant development topics and challenges faced by businesses just like ours.
  • Improve my technical skills and make me a more valuable asset to the company.
  • Give me the opportunity to learn from both Microsoft and industry experts.
  • Make me more efficient and productive by shaving time and endless cycles off my projects. Saving even 10 minutes an hour, would give me over 345 hours per year to spend on other critical projects.
  • Allow me to network with other professionals in different industries to share best practices and gain new perspectives on the technology I work with daily.
