SUBJECT: Request to attend Couchbase Catalyst 2026 (Oct 20 to 22, Fort Lauderdale)

Hi [Manager's Name],

I would like to request approval to attend Couchbase Catalyst 2026, taking place October 20–22 at the Omni Fort Lauderdale. This is Couchbase’s inaugural customer conference focused entirely on helping enterprise teams advance next-generation data solutions for the Agentic Era. 

The event runs October 20–22, featuring visionary keynotes, customer case studies, and breakout sessions. The final day (October 22) is dedicated to hands-on technical training, hackathons, and product labs. 

Our team is currently [personalizing the project or challenge team is working on]. Attending this conference will give us a blueprint to solve challenges like these. Specifically, I will bring back actionable strategies to help our organization [what is most compelling to your org about the agenda and learnings e.g. reduce TCO, mitigate AI performance risks, and learn Couchbase best practices]. And by participating in the Day 3 hands-on labs and spending face-to-face time with Couchbase product engineers, I can bring our team's toughest technical data constraints directly to the people who build the platform and leave with an actionable approach. 

Estimated cost breakdown:

• Registration pass is $299 for early bird, and $499 regular.
  This includes full access to keynotes, breakouts, and Day 3 hands-on labs.
• Airfare: $[Insert Amount]
• Hotel - Omni Fort Lauderdale discounted block: $309/night

When I return, I will share a short summary and three actions for the team including blueprints, technical architectures, and economic frameworks learned at the event.

Thank you for considering this request. I’d love to lock in the registration before the current pricing tiers change. 

Best regards,

[Your Name]
