Dear [Insert Name], 

I am writing to seek authorization to attend the 8th Annual Xeneta Summit, scheduled for October 17-18 in Amsterdam, NL. This exclusive, invitation-only event gathers together more than 700 leading professionals in ocean and air freight procurement, logistics, and supply chain management for comprehensive market discussions and hands-on learning opportunities with Xeneta's experts. Additionally, it offers a preview of upcoming product innovations.

This year's summit features an impressive lineup of speakers, including: 

• Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO - Hapag-Lloyd 
• Kenni Skotte, Vice President & Head of Ocean Network Product - A.P. Moller – Maersk
• Barbara Brandtner, Director for Transport, Post and other services at the Directorate General for Competition, EU Commission
• Marco Eipper, Director of Cloud Logistics – Microsoft
• Paolo Montrone, Senior Vice President, Head of Global Trades - Kuehne + Nagel
• Prathibha Hampapur, Global Inbound Logistics – Lululemon
• Jeffrey van Haeften, Senior Vice President Cargo Commercial Worldwide – Emirate SkyCargo 

The agenda focuses on key topics such as: Ocean Freight and Air Freight Indexing, ESG initiatives, Looking Beyond Resilience to Achieve Supply Chain Excellence and How to Streamline Processes with API - providing invaluable insights that align with our strategic objectives. 

By attending this event, I will:

• Gain comprehensive knowledge on key aspects shaping our 2025 ocean and air freight procurement strategy.
• Develop a deep understanding of how carrier alliances influence our sourcing approach.
• Acquire valuable insights into the intricacies of indexing for both ocean and air freight rates.
• Gain expert perspectives on leveraging emerging technology and analytics to strengthen our competitive position in the industry.

The registration ticket cost is normally 1049 EURO; however, Xeneta has kindly offered a complimentary ticket as a one-time offer, which I can claim before September 1.

I believe the investment in attending this summit will yield significant returns for our company. Your approval for this expenditure would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your positive response. 

Best Regards,
