Hi <Manager Name>,

I would like to request approval to attend Visual Studio Live! (VSLive!) @ Microsoft HQ 2027 and the co-located Artificial Intelligence Live! (AILive!). With one registration, I’ll have access to two technical training events in one location, for one price, giving me the opportunity to build skills across both the Microsoft development ecosystem and the AI technologies transforming how software is built.

Together, VSLive! & AILive! bring Microsoft engineers, MVPs, AI experts, and leading industry practitioners together for practical, real-world training designed to help attendees solve today’s development challenges while preparing for what’s next.

Why Attend?

• Two Events, One Price – One registration provides access to sessions across both Visual Studio Live! & Artificial Intelligence Live!, allowing me to customize my training experience and choose the sessions that are most relevant to our projects and technology priorities.
• Comprehensive Developer + AI Training – I can build my agenda from deep-dive workshops, hands-on labs, and expert-led sessions spanning modern .NET development, ASP.NET Core, Azure, cloud-native architecture, DevOps, data, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, software architecture, GitHub Copilot, AI agents, AI engineering, models and evaluation, and real-world AI application development.
• Direct Access to Experts – I’ll learn directly from Microsoft engineers, MVPs, AI specialists, and leading practitioners who can provide practical guidance, best practices, and solutions to real-world development and AI challenges.
• Future-Ready Skills – Combining VSLive! & AILive! provides an opportunity to strengthen the development skills we rely on today while gaining practical knowledge of AI technologies that are changing developer workflows, application architecture, and the way organizations build software.
• Flexible, Relevant Learning – Because both events are available with one registration, I can move between VSLive! & AILive! sessions to create a training experience aligned with our specific needs rather than being limited to a single conference track.
• Networking & Collaboration – I’ll have opportunities to connect with developers, architects, AI practitioners, Microsoft experts, and technical leaders to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and bring valuable insights back to our team.

Investment & ROI

Attending two events for the price of one significantly expands the value of our training investment. Instead of choosing between traditional Microsoft developer training and specialized AI education, I can gain both in a single trip and registration.

The skills and knowledge I bring back can directly benefit our projects through improved productivity, stronger development practices, better-informed technology decisions, and new opportunities to incorporate AI into our applications and workflows. After the event, I will share key takeaways, resources, and best practices with the team so we can extend the value of the training across our development efforts.

If you have any questions about Visual Studio Live! & Artificial Intelligence Live! @ Microsoft HQ, I would be happy to share additional conference details. You can also view the conference website at vslive.com/microsofthq. Several registration options are available, including full conference packages and single-day passes.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how attending this conference can support our team’s development goals and technology roadmap.

Thank you for your consideration!

Best,
