Hello [AMAZING P.I.],
This year we’ve many projects planned and I am excited to participate. To help me strengthen my skills and generate new ideas to share with the rest of the team, I’d love to attend the
2022 ASIP Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology.
This conference will take place April 2-5, 2022 in Philadelphia, PA. Many scientific professionals and speakers will come together for oral and poster sessions and networking events every evening.
I think this conference is a great opportunity for us to engage with leaders, connect with potential mentors, and bring back best practices to the lab. I’m particularly excited about [SPECIFIC SESSION, EVENT, OR TOPIC] which I think will help us [APPLY TO YOUR WORK].
At the ASIP meeting, attendees will experience:
- Presentations representing cutting edge research in a variety of disciplines
- Award lectures and special presentations by internationally-recognized leaders
- Opportunities to meet and network with other trainees, as well as established investigators in the field
- Focused professional, career development, and educational sessions
- Opportunities to explore ways in which trainees can engage in ASIP events/activities and groups
My attendance will cost about [COST], which includes travel, lodging, and registration. I will ensure my duties are covered while I’m away and will take detailed notes and give a short recap presentation for our team when I return.
Thanks in advance for considering my request. I’d love to discuss this opportunity and answer any questions you might have!
