Cat who works with contracts asking boss to approve attendance at biggest baddest best darn-tootenest contract training extravaganza in the universe.
Most people who come to ContractsCon pay with firm or company money. That means before you can register, you have to get someone to say yes.
We decided to make that part easy.
We wrote a complete email packet you can send your boss to ask for approval. You fill in a few blanks and send it. No staring at a blank screen trying to justify a contract conference to someone who controls the budget.
Here is what is inside:
A short email for managers who already trust your judgment. Quick ask, quick yes.
A long email with the full business case for managers who want the numbers. It covers the CLE math, the cost per credit hour compared to PLI and ABA programs, the exact topics we cover, the companies that attended last year, and the specific things you will bring back to your team.
A one-page summary you can paste into Slack or hand to a skip-level.
The whole thing is editable. Change the tone, cut a section, add your own reasons. Make it sound like you.
One tip that works. Tie your request to a deal you are working on right now. "We are negotiating an AI product agreement and the data use session maps directly to our open issues" lands far better than "I want to attend a conference." Specific beats general every time.
ContractsCon 2026 is happening on October 13 and 14 in person in Philadelphia, and October 21 and 22 virtually. The program is a two-day murder mystery called Death of a Contract. The training is serious. The costumes and vibe are not.
Grab the packet, send the email, and come find out who killed the contract.
