Subject: Improving my Understanding and Usage of our Horizon Software Solutions

Dear [put your manager's name here]:

While we have already benefited from using Horizon's technology solutions, I have an opportunity to further improve the way I use their software in our day-to-day operations. I believe that by attending the annual Horizon Users Conference this year, I will have the opportunity to bring back new ideas that will help us efficiently and effectively deal with our operational challenges in a positive way.

The 2017 Horizon Users Conference will focus on the following areas:
- Generating revenue with Horizon solutions
- Increasing participation with streamlined processes
- Reducing waste and controlling costs
- Improving food safety
- Providing systems training and SNA CEU credits
- Encouraging new ideas through networking
- By surrounding myself with industry peers, Horizon staff, and their vendors, I will gain a better understanding of how Horizon solutions can help our organization increase revenue and reduce costs, which in turn will allow us to provide better service to our customers.In order to maximize this investment,

I will be happy to prepare a follow-up report which shares what I have learned during the conference that directly relates to the increased efficiency of our food service technology and processes. I will be glad to share this information and conference materials with the entire food service team as needed.

If you have any questions about Horizon's Users Conference, please let me know and I will share the conference literature with you. 

I hope you will agree that my attendance at this training event would make a significant, positive impact on our organization.

Best regards,
[Your name here]
