Dear [Boss's Name],
I'm writing to request approval to attend WSO2Con Africa 2026. The conference will be held at JW Marriott Nairobi from September 22 - 24, 2026. This year’s theme is “Building the Agentic Enterprise,” and I believe this is a valuable event for our team to stay current with WSO2’s technologies and the broader digital landscape.
WSO2Con is WSO2’s flagship user conference to showcase real-world strategies, expert insights, and innovations that simplify development, accelerate digital transformation, and future-proof IT infrastructures. Keynotes, customer stories, and technical discussions during the three-day event will explore and deep-dive into how enterprises can transform digital innovation by eliminating the complexities of traditional platforms. Attending will also allow me to understand their AI strategy and connect with other developers, architects, and business leaders.
Benefits for our team
Gain strategic insights: I'll attend sessions on WSO2's roadmap and upcoming releases. This insight is crucial for aligning our projects with the future of WSO2's technology.
Networking and knowledge sharing: The conference is a great opportunity to collaborate with the global WSO2 community. These conversations can help us solve our current technical challenges and build valuable connections that will benefit our company.
Skill enhancement: With a variety of sessions, including deep-dives labs and case studies, I can select those most relevant to our work. This will allow me to build my knowledge on best practices and new trends, and interact directly with WSO2 product leaders.
