Fancy going to WordCamp Belfast, but don\u2019t want to lose your days off?
\nThen we\u2019ve got your back\u2026 just ask your boss for a couple of days off in lieu.<\/p>\n
With our WordCamp being held over a Saturday and Sunday, there\u2019s no doubt that it would make for long working week if you are working Monday to Friday, only to attend a WordCamp conference at the weekend. Followed by going back into work on Monday morning again.<\/p>\n
So with that in mind, we have prepared this letter for you to convince your boss to give you a couple off days of in lieu.
\nWhat\u2019s more, we have even sweetened the deal for your boss if he allows three or more of his staff time of to go to WordCamp.<\/p>\n

Dear [MANAGER\u2019S NAME],<\/p>\n In the interest of employee education, networking and increasing my skill set, I would like to attend WordCamp Belfast on 1st & 2nd October 2016.<\/p>\n WordCamps are conferences that focus on everything WordPress \u2013 there are hundreds held all over the world throughout the year, they are informal, community-organised events that are put together by the local WordPress users. Everyone from casual users to core WordPress developers participate in them to share ideas and get to know each other.<\/p>\n The event itself will run over two days in Queens University, Belfast. With the first day being a series of talks. These talks cover such topics as content creation, social media, SEO, Google Organic Search, the WordPress community, privacy laws, plugin development, and also the WordPress Rest API.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s just day one\u2026<\/p>\n Plans for the second day include charity website builds, a WordPress happiness bar and workshops on site security and SEO.<\/p>\n During all of this I\/we will have the chance to get to know a huge amount of individuals from both the local and international WordPress communities. There will be plenty of opportunity to network and connect with influential people, with whom we can collaborate and leverage our skill sets to mutually benefit each other.<\/p>\n The incredible thing is, that all of this costs a mere \u00a327.50 (for both days). At that price I can guarantee you that the things I\/we learn, and the connections we make at WordCamp will more than pay for themselves as our business continues to expand.<\/p>\n If we send 3 or more of our staff, we can get a 20% discount on each ticket \u2013 you just need to contact the conference organisers on\u00a0wordcampbelfast@gmail.com<\/strong> to be sent the coupon code. Just tell them the name of our company and how many of us will be attending.<\/p>\n Alternatively, we could sponsor the event and get free tickets.<\/p>\n Since WordCamp Belfast will require me to give up my weekend to attend, for the greater good of our company. I ask that the two days can be taken at another (suitable) time \u2013 subject to our workload.<\/p>\n You can read more about the conference at\u00a0https:\/\/2016.belfast.wordcamp.org<\/strong><\/a> and I\u2019d be happy to answer any further questions you may have.<\/p>\n Looking forward to your response.<\/p>\n Regards, Fancy going to WordCamp Belfast, but don\u2019t want to lose your days off?
