Convince Your Boss

Get Approval To Attend 2026 ABMA BOILER Expo

Do you want to be a part of ABMA BOILER Expo, and need to demonstrate the value of attending to your boss? We can help! This “Convince your Boss” toolkit spells out the ROI of investing in the quality education and training waiting for you in Nashville.

The toolkit includes templates for an Approval Letter, Benefits Summary and Cost Calculator, making it easy to get started in three simple steps:

1.    Put it in writing! Send an email to your boss,

2.    Emphasize the benefits of attending.

3.    Break down attendance costs and expenses.

Get started with a personalized email to your manager using the Approval Letter template on page 2. Be sure to demonstrate how your organization will benefit from your attendance and offer to provide a post-event rundown of key learnings and strategies gained at ABMA BOILER Expo. Give your boss plenty of lead time to ensure approval and funding.

Next, use the Benefits Summary on page 3 to create a compelling case for attending ABMA BOILER Expo. Here are some things to consider:

•  Set personal attendance goals that will also benefit your organization. Highlight the sessions you will participate in, colleagues you expect to meet, and the solution providers you will visit in the expo hall.

•  Emphasize with management:

o  Valuable education and training

o  Direct access to industry experts

o  New technologies and solutions to challenges in your facilities

o  Peer networking and professional development

Finally, conduct a cost calculation using the Cost Calculator on page 5. Calculating anticipated expenses is key to justifying event attendance and demonstrating the full value proposition. Register, book travel, and reserve your lodging early to receive the lowest rates.

We hope to see you in Nashville at ABMA BOILER Expo!
