FIVE STEPS TO CONVINCE YOUR BOSS THAT YOU NEED TO BE AT ASVAC 2017

You are the future of vaccine, and among the next generation of leaders in the field. You deserve every opportunity to excel because the competence and expertise you acquire now will impact on the quality of patient care in Asia Pacific for years to come.

You deserve every opportunity to excel: you are dedicated, and your academic merit and progress warrant participation in the trainee audience at this crucial conference. But to make that happen, you first need to convince your boss to send you. We can help with that.

Just take these five easy steps, use the professionally written letter we’ve already prepared for you, and we’re sure that we’ll be seeing you in Singapore in April 2017 for ASVAC 2017!

Step 1: Do Your Homework – Study & Plan Your Conference and Map Out Your Session Planner

List your goals and – just as important –your challenges, as well as your boss’ goals and challenges. Study the scientific programme and use these goals and challenges to map out your congress, selecting the plenary sessions, lunch symposia and hands-on workshops that will allow you to reach these goals and rise to these challenges, and the regional and international experts who will be leading them.

Step 2: Stress the Importance of Investing in Your Education

Stress the need to stay current on the research, knowledge and experience of delegates attending ASVAC 2017, of being among the first to learn of all the significant new developments and scientific advancements in vaccine, and of seeing hearing, and meeting, the invited expert speakers, the luminaries in the field whose names your boss is very familiar with.

Step 3: Get to Know the Top Equipment & Tech Providers

With exhibitions of all the leading suppliers in the field of vaccine, you will be able to make an informed contribution to discussions on your organization’s purchasing decisions, which is only possible when all the leading vendors are assembled under one roof as they will be at ASVAC 2017.

Step 4: Complete the Request Letter

When it comes to professional development, most bosses prefer a written request, and we’ve created a letter template to get you started in the right direction. Just customise and tailor it to suit your individual situation.

Step 5: When You Return Home, Share Your Newfound Empowerment, Energy, and Education with Your Peers

What you take away from the conference will vastly improve your skills, and the multidisciplinary approach of the conference will open your mind to all the vital connections in science and medicine. You deserve every opportunity to prepare yourself not only to make an impact on the future of vaccine, but to advance it and be an indispensable part of your organization.

Use our pre-written letter to convince your boss to send you to ASVAC 2017!
