Subject

Request to attend DASH 2026

Hi [Manager's Name],

DASH, Datadog’s annual conference, is happening on June 09–10 in New York City, and I’d like to attend. The conference is packed with practical insights into how modern engineering, security, and AI-enabled workflows operate—knowledge that will help us collaborate more effectively across teams.

Relevant Learning Areas

  • Best practices for monitoring, improving application performance and reliability, and optimizing cloud costs
  • How DevOps, SRE, and AI teams use observability to improve delivery, reliability, and decision-making
  • How security teams reduce code and cloud vulnerabilities, manage risk, and accelerate TDIR workflows
  • Hands-on workshops covering best practices for incident response, automation, and how to ensure the best service quality

AI-Accelerated Workflows

DASH will also cover how teams are incorporating AI into development, operations, and security. Understanding these trends will help us anticipate how these tools are shaping workflows, cross-functional collaboration, delivery timelines, and security operations.

Team Impact

During the event, I plan to focus on insights that directly support our priorities:

  • [Project or initiative]
  • [Project or initiative]

I’m happy to host a brief session afterward to share key takeaways and recommended improvements to our workflows. The total investment would be [ticket cost + estimated travel], and I believe the practical, cross-team insights gained will more than justify the cost.

Thank you for your consideration. Best,
[Your name]
