Template Letter to Make Your Case to Your Leadership Team

Dear [Approval’s Name],

I am writing to request your approval to attend the PHASE China 2026 conference, which will be held at Shanghai American School (Pudong Campus) on 14-16 May 2026.

A little bit of background about PHASE conference, this annual conference has brought over 5,000 educators from all over the world to share best practices since its inception in 2015, all for the sake of learning from leading authorities in their respective fields as well as from practitioner presenters, to network with fellow educators, and to access good practice and resources in multiple formats. 

The details for the upcoming event are still coming together but information on the previous event in China gives you a good sense of what to expect:

  • A total of 200+ attendees join the inaugural PHASE China in 2025 from across 16 countries – Watch their feedback here. (Our sister event – PHASE Asia Pacific recently saw a record-breaking 477 from 32 countries for the four days of pre-conference workshops and main conference days.)
  • 60+ sessions of in-person sharing, including 1 two-day pre-conferences, 1 one-day pre-conferences, 7 blocks of breakout sessions with each up to 7 sessions per breakout block
  • 43 international speakers presented at PHASE China, contributing to the growth and development of the PHASE conference attendees

I believe that attending this conference would be a valuable professional development opportunity for me. I would have the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s leading educators, and I would be able to bring back new ideas and strategies that I could use in my classroom.

Here is a quick breakdown of the costs to cover our attendance to the conference as a team of three (or more):

  1. For the Main Conference: Refer to price list here, group discounts available

  3. Hotel Costs: Official hotel to be confirmed – booking done through the same conference ticket registration link
