Let's handle the objections
THE QUESTIONS ARE TOUGH.
THE ANSWERS ARE EASY.
“IS IT WORTH IT?”
One valuable partnership, new solution, or better process could deliver value well beyond the event.
“CAN'T YOU LEARN ONLINE?”
Articles can't replace candid conversations with the people building and implementing the technology.
“WHAT WILL YOU BRING BACK?”
Specific takeaways, potential partners, solutions to explore, and next steps your team can act on.
Pick your angle

Before you hit send
NEED MORE AMMO?
WE'VE GOT YOU.
A good pitch is specific. Here are four ways to make your request harder to turn down.
Pro tip 01
MAKE IT ABOUT THEIR PRIORITIES.
Pick three sessions that address your company's real challenges. Explain what you'll learn, who you'll meet, and how you'll share the results.
Pro tip 02
BRING THE WHOLE TEAM.
One attendee can bring back ideas. A team can divide sessions, compare solutions, and build relationships across functions. RETCON offers group passes for three or more attendees. Ask about group passes ↗
If they say no
CHANGE THE ASK.
Ask what the real obstacle is: budget, timing, or business value. Offer a clear post-event deliverable, propose a lower-cost travel plan, or revisit approval during the next budget review. Qualified owners and operators can also apply for complimentary attendance by January 1, 2027.
Once you're approved
PROVE IT WAS WORTH IT.
Set three goals before you go. Prioritize meetings. Track useful contacts and solutions. Within 10 business days, share a one-page recap and two actionable recommendations.
