We appreciate that time out of the office can be difficult to justify, especially with the constant pressures of return on investment and time. This is why we have put together this short prospectus for you to use it in your internal decision-making process, if needed - hope it's useful!

There are many benefits of attending the Global Local Content
Summit 2013; if we were to break them down into their two main
components they would be networking and education.
It can be difficult to quantify the value of networking to your
business, but it remains an extremely important benefit to attending
a conference as past delegates to Oil & Gas IQ events will testify.
Education and Training: Oil & Gas IQ provides the best value
for your business development, marketing and training budgets.
Compare the number of practical case study presentations,
networking opportunities and interactive discussion sessions to
previous training courses you’ve attended.
Knowledge Transfer: Spend several days among dedicated
professionals and take advantage of the opportunity to learn,
share experience, build contacts and evaluate the latest tools,
technologies and strategies. With this value-centric approach,
who needs a consultant when you can obtain valuable insights
first-hand from industry leaders and innovators?
Real-World Information: Expand your knowledge base, and
add value to your organisation by learning how to implement
and manage technology and strategies in a relaxed, user-
friendly environment. Gain from the real-life experiences and
challenges of your peers and colleagues.
Concentrated Learning: Put yourself in a fully informed
position about the latest solutions available through product
demonstrations and consultative meetings or take advantage
of specialist masterclasses to improve your efficiency and
productivity.
Detailed Information Pack: Your delegate pack will include
detailed notes, presentation slides and associated whitepapers,
so you can take valuable notes and records from the expert
speakers. These will provide an invaluable tool for feeding back
to your team when you are back in the office.
Easier to measure are the learning and education
benefits, of which there are many... including:

3. Work smarter
not harder
“ It was very useful
to know different
approaches, views
and results”
KPO BV
“ This event was
completely aligned
with my activities
and the main issues
were covered.
Congratulations for
the organisation and
presentations”

A conference is not just a fun few days out of the office,
it’s hard work!
The conference is a full few days with a clear focus on learning and
information exchange. Your day will start early, with networking
opportunities at lunch followed by more learning in the afternoon.
Prepare, prepare, prepare
Setting goals and thinking about what you are looking to get out of
the conference is vital. Coming to the conference prepared will mean
that you have a clear focus during your time there. (Don’t forget to
ask your manager what they are expecting from it too.)
Increase team knowledge
By creating a report on your time at the conference and your
learning, you create benefits not only for yourself but also for your
peers and company as a whole. Sharing what you’ve learnt at the
conference will increase the ROI of your attendance considerably.
All conference attendees receive copies of conference presentations -
making it easy to share your newly acquired knowledge.
Implement Information
Apply what you’ve learned at the meeting and make a difference.
Information you gain here — which can range from ground
breaking strategies to recommended external partners, lowering
cost and differentiation strategies — compared to the cost of the
conference, could easily justify your attendance at Global Local
Content Summit 2013.
It just makes financial sense!
Hiring an external resource of the same level as the industry experts
at Global Local Content Summit 2013 could easily cost more than
your delegate pass. By attending a conference you hear from an
industry - leading speaker panel and get a range of experts’ views -
as well as the problem solving, brainstorming and learning
opportunities you benefit from as you network and join discussions
with other attendees. Two brains are better than one, so imagine
what a whole roomful of your industry peers can achieve!
A unique learning experience
The Global Local Content Summit 2013 offers a unique learning
experience with speakers from all areas of the industry offering their
knowledge and experience. Where else will you get that value and
depth of learning? Your competitors will be there... can you afford to
be left behind?

4. And finally...
We’ve put together a short letter, free for you to tweak
and use in your internal decision-making process.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like you to consider approving my attendance at the
Global Local Content Summit. You will find the conference
agenda attached and below a summary of the key benefits
that will have a direct impact on our company.
If you need any further information please let me know and
I will be happy to provide this.
I realise that my attendance at the event requires an investment
of both time and money, so I have put together a plan for a post-
event report to ensure the company receives maximum return on
investment. This conference offers a unique opportunity for our
company to learn from leading experts in the sector and will
enable me to network and build important business relationships.
With an intensive programme of case studies, panel discussions
and other key learning opportunities the conference offers
knowledge that can be implemented once back in the office.
Highlights this year include:
• Special Focus on Latin America: An in depth look into Local
Content development in Brazil and Mexico. Hear how policies
and regulations have been implemented and how the key
players involved are aligning their Local Content strategies
• Focus on the Middle East: A special section dedicated to
exploring Local Content developments in the Middle East. Hear
updates from Saudi Arabia and Oman
• New Frontiers in Eurasia: A special focus on developments in
Local Content Policy and implementation in Eurasia including
insight into Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. Hear how policies and
regulations have been implemented and how the key players
involved are aligning their Local Content strategies
• Workshop Day: Take part in interactive workshop sessions
designed to develop skills and facilitate practical learning. Take
away strategies and insights that you can implement into your
Local Content or sustainability programme
I believe that my attendance at this conference would be an
excellent use of this year’s training budget and offer great
benefit to our organisation.
Thank you in advance for considering my request.
Please let me know if you need any further information at
this point.
Best regards,
