Build Your Case

Justification Tips

Prepare your rock-solid justification plan to present to your supervisor using the following ideas:

  • Clearly explain the value of the conference by highlighting key points.
  • Download this Justification Letter Template to use as an explanation of why you want to attend and what the benefits will be. Download and complete the supporting documents (ROI Dashboard and  Expense Worksheet) not only to help your supervisor understand the expenses associated with the conference but also the value of attendance. Tailor these as much as possible to your practice’s specific needs.
  • Outline your goals for attending the AI+IM Global Summit and align them with your organization's challenges. Be specific to set clear expectations. Will you identify five exhibiting companies for future follow-ups? Will you learn one new AI+IM strategy to implement? Make sure your goals are measurable. 
  • Explain how you will report back on your findings after the event. Offer to share presentation slides, key points from your notes, write a detailed report, or give a presentation to your team. More ideas for post-summit reporting are listed below in the resources section. 
  • Plan ahead for your absence by outlining who will cover your duties before, during, and after the summit, ensuring that critical work remains on track.

Report Back

Post Conference Reporting

Commit to preparing and sharing a summit report with your supervisor and team. A well-crafted report (1-3 pages) will convey key insights and help your organization understand the value of your attendance. 

Use the Post-Summit Report Template as a starting point. Information to include might be: 

  • Executive summaries of key themes and ideas discussed. 
  • Highlights from general sessions and how they relate to your organization. 
  • Educational workshops and session takeaways that offer actionable strategies. 
  • Networking events summaries, including new contacts, their significance, and follow-up plans. 
  • Vendor conversations from the exhibit hall: companies to follow up with and relevant solutions. 
  • New ideas or recommendations to implement within your organization. 
  • Resources and tools gathered during the summit, such as checklists, articles, or software demos. 

Take detailed notes throughout the summit and consider drafting your report during your travel home to capture the freshest information. If you plan to present your findings, schedule the meeting as soon as possible to avoid losing momentum upon your return to the office.
