Professional Development Request

Subject: Professional development: On Brand conference

Hi [Supervisor Name],

I would like to attend the On Brand conference held at Creighton University’s Harper Center on Thursday, July 16, 2026.

This local event is designed for professionals in public relations, marketing and branding. It offers a chance to learn new strategies I can apply directly to our upcoming projects, specifically [mention a specific goal or project here].

The registration fee is expected to be under $200 and includes breakfast and lunch. Because the conference is held here in Omaha, there are no travel or lodging expenses involved.

You can find more details at onbrandcon.com. I would love to secure a spot once registration opens to take advantage of this pricing.

Best,

P.S.S. Out of office

Out of Office: Staying On Brand

Hi there,

I’m currently out of the office for the On Brand conference at Creighton University. I’m spending the day with fellow PR and marketing pros, which means I am intentionally ignoring my inbox in the name of professional development. Also, I hope you join me next year.

I will be back at my desk on Friday, July 17, likely caffeinated and full of new ideas.

If you need immediate assistance, please contact [Colleague's Name] at [Email Address]. Otherwise, I’ll get back to you once I’m officially "off-brand" for the weekend.
