Re:	 AFRINIC-25 Attendance Proposal

Dear (insert boss’s name),

I’d like to attend the next AFRINIC stand-alone meeting, AFRINIC-25, from 25 November to 30 November in Mauritius. It is a regional multi-stakeholder ICT conference which brings together Africa's ICT business and technical community to discuss regional and global ICT issues and challenges. 

AFRINIC Meetings provide a unique opportunity for Internet-related individuals and organisations to gather to discuss the policies governing Internet number resource distribution in the African region, to share technical knowledge, and to attend workshops and tutorials.

Here are the ways our organisation could benefit if I attend this Meeting:

• I’ll learn more about the ICT industry: I will learn first-hand about the latest developments in Internet networking trends and Internet governance from the shared insights and practical experiences of regional and international experts

• I’ll be involved: I will directly contribute to discussions on Internet number resource (IPv4, IPv6 and ASNs) distribution policies in the Africa and Indian Ocean region during the policy development sessions.

• I’ll become more productive: I will participate in hands-on training sessions and intensive workshops to expand your knowledge and skills in subjects including IPv6 deployment.

• I’ll be more connected: I will use lunch and coffee breaks and evening social events to network with international peers to exchange ideas and expand your contact base.

• I’ll learn from the experts: I will learn and be able to debate with ICT experts from all around the world.

I believe attending AFRINIC-25 is worth the investment. It’s the one conference where I can learn about industry trends, get exposure to new technology, and create an important network.
