Subject: Request to attend KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit + PyTorch Conference China 2026

Hi [Manager’s Name],

I’d like to request approval to attend KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit + PyTorch Conference China 2026, taking place 8-9 September in Shanghai. This flagship event unites over 1,000 adopters, technologists, and community leaders from across the ecosystem to drive innovation in open source infrastructure, cloud native computing, machine learning and next-generation AI around common, industry-wide use cases.

By attending, I’ll gain access to:

• 75+ sessions including technical deep-dives, case studies, and hands-on training.
• Opportunities to network with industry experts, key project maintainers, and peers tackling similar challenges.
• Insights and collaboration across dozens of open technologies—including three of the most active open source projects in the world: Kubernetes, OpenStack, and PyTorch.

To get a feel for what the conference is all about, check out the China 2025 highlight reel, keynotes, and session videos.

Proven ROI:
Data from the last year’s event demonstrates measurable impact:

• 48% were first-time KubeCon + CloudNativeCon attendees, underscoring its accessibility for those new to cloud native.
• Top reasons for attendance: networking, training/career growth, and to attend breakout sessions.
• 60% of attendees were in technical positions, with strong representation from DevOps, SRE, and development roles.

There’s also a full conference transparency report highlighting session content, experiences, and demographics.

Estimated costs (with early booking discounts):

• Airfare: ¥XXX / $XXX
• Hotel: ¥XXX / $XXX per night (discounted attendee rates available through the conference block)
• Meals: ¥XX / $XX per day
• Conference registration: $120 USD (Early Bird before 7 April)
• Estimated Total: ¥X,XXX / $X,XXX

If approved, I will:

• Share a proposed session schedule in advance.
• Provide a post-conference recap with key takeaways, best practices, and recommendations on how we can apply cloud native tools and techniques to our business strategy.

By registering early, we can take advantage of both the Early Bird registration fee and the discounted hotel rates offered to attendees — making this a cost-effective opportunity to strengthen our team’s expertise, expand our network, and ensure we remain at the forefront of cloud native innovation.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best,
