Dear ______________,
I’m writing this letter to let you know that I am interested in attending DataFest Tbilisi 2025 and would be grateful for your approval.
DataFest Tbilisi is the first and largest annual international data event in Eastern Europe dedicated to supporting cooperation across multiple sectors, strengthening communities and inspiring individuals to pursue and explore the vast world of data and technology. This year marks the 9th edition of the event, taking place in the vibrant capital city of Georgia on November 27-29, 2025.
DataFest Tbilisi 2025 features four interconnected tracks: Technologies, Society, Startups & Businesses, and Art. I’ve seen them explore these themes year after year, so I’m confident I’ll leave with new strategies and inspiration we can use to achieve our team’s goals.
Here’s what I’ll gain from attending DataFest Tbilisi 2025:
- During these three days, I’ll have a chance to bring back new ideas and creative approaches, all while gaining practical skills that I can immediately use in our ongoing projects.
- I’ll be an ambassador for [our company/organization], introducing it to numerous experts in the field and expanding its horizons during Side Events and Networking Breaks. I might even take the stage at Open Mic, sharing our experiences and offerings with a global audience.
- I’ll learn from leaders themselves to stay ahead of emerging trends – all of which will ensure our team is up to date with the latest tools and strategies in data.
Tickets to the conference cost 299 GEL and it grants me full access to all sessions and interactive workshops, as well as many opportunities for networking. There’s also a Corporate Ticket option: if you’d like to send four or more team members, we can email hello@datafest.ge to request a special corporate rate.
Time is running out to purchase tickets, so please let me know by [date] whether I have your approval and support to attend.
Many thanks and warm regards,
[Your Name]
