Hi [Manager's name],

I would like to request approval to attend IAMPHENOM Europe 2026, taking place 4-5 November at the H4 Wyndham Paris Pleyel. Here’s why it’s worth the investment for [Company Name]:  

• It’s the only European conference built for learning how applied and agentic AI are transforming HR. IAMPHENOM Europe is not a general HR tech conference with an AI track bolted on. Every session, keynote, and breakout is focused on how organizations are applying AI, agents, and automation to hiring, development, and retention right now.

• The agenda maps directly to our priorities. his is not background learning, but a playbook for work we're actively doing. Sessions cover agentic AI, automation maturity, AI governance and EU regulatory readiness, high-volume hiring, skills intelligence, internal mobility, and candidate experience. 

• Speakers are peers. The 2025 event drew senior leaders from Mastercard, DHL, Zurich Insurance, HelloFresh, and Kuehne+Nagel, all sharing how they're navigating our same AI adoption challenges.

• A rare chance to benchmark against other EU organizations. With 500+ attendees from across Europe, IAMPHENOM offers structured access to how other companies are approaching AI governance, compliance, and rollout.

• First-hand exposure to what is coming from Phenom. The Product Innovation Keynote will preview the next generation of Phenom's applied AI capabilities before they are generally available, giving us advance visibility into the roadmap so we can plan integrations and adoption proactively.

• Low cost for the high value. Early bird registration is EUR 100, with a deadline of 31 August. The venue is 20 minutes from Charles de Gaulle by car and metro-accessible directly from the hotel. I am happy to debrief the team with a full summary of takeaways when I return.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the agenda or logistics. Here's a link to the full event site: https://www.iamphenomeurope.com/
