I am writing to ask for approval to attend the PayTech Women (PTW), annual Leaderships Summit, November 4 & 5, 2025, in Atlanta. PTW helps businesses empower female employees through a supportive network of cross-company peers and mentors. The Leadership Summit will provide access to this network in an immersive in-person environment. During this conference, I will have opportunities to learn from global leaders in the paytech industry with insights to help me individually and the company as a whole.
The registration fees include access to all conference activities, 24 breakout sessions (many with CPP credit), five keynotes, the PTW awards ceremony, opening night celebration, buffet lunch on both days, closing general session and the heavy appetizer event. I know I will leave this event energized to contribute to XYZ Company with actionable and amplifiable ideas.
Thank you for this opportunity.
