Request to attend DASH 2026 – Hands-on SRE learning and insights

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. This event is packed with practical, hands-on learning sessions focused on improving system reliability, optimizing performance, and strengthening our incident response workflows—all areas directly tied to our team’s objectives.

How Attending DASH Can Benefit Our Team

Advanced monitoring and troubleshooting: I’ll learn new techniques for detecting issues earlier, correlating signals across distributed systems, and improving the performance and reliability of our services.

Proactive SLO and service health management: Sessions will cover strategies for managing SLIs/SLOs at scale and using automation to reduce manual effort, ensuring our ability to meet reliability commitments as our organization continues to grow.

Faster and more accurate root cause analysis: Datadog will be introducing their latest AI-assisted diagnostics, including agentic SRE capabilities, that can help accelerate our investigation workflows and reduce downtime.

My Focus Areas for the Event

At the conference, I’ll prioritize sessions and workshops that directly support our ongoing strategic projects, including:

  • [Add project or initiative]
  • [Add project or initiative]

Attending DASH will also provide direct access to Datadog’s Product and Engineering teams, our account team, and industry practitioners. This gives us an opportunity to validate our approaches, evaluate new capabilities, and understand how AI-driven automation (such as Datadog’s Bits AI SRE agent) can help us improve reliability and reduce operational overhead.

Thanks for considering my request. I’m happy to give you more details if needed. Best,
[Your name]
