The Hackaday Superconference is rapidly approaching and you need to be there. The good news is, if you play your cards right you can get your boss to sign off on sending you to Supercon as part of your professional development.
This is the Ultimate Hardware Conference. This is your chance to recharge your batteries and come back energized for an amazing year ahead. You’ll be among hundreds of people who love to push the boundaries of what is possible. Dozens of talks and workshops take place over the backdrop of three days worth of a Hacker Village atmosphere focusing on a badge hacking demoscene.
We’re here to help you get to yes with the powers that be in your company. If you have a tight set of requirements that dictate what counts as professional development, we have a template to use in formulating your ask. Fill in this letter with the details that work for you and head over to the corner office with this in hand.
If you already have a supervisor who understands the hacker lifestyle, the best route is to show off the best Supercon has to offer. Share the playlist of talks from 2017 with them and you’re a shoe-in for your company’s conference attendance budget. And while you’re at it, try to convince your boss to come along for the fun!
See you in November!
Social engineering at it’s best, laid out in easy to use template form. :)
If only my day job involved anything remotely related..
I dont think my boss will go for that sadly, wish California wasn’t so expensive.
+1
Plus, if the boss sees that guy dressed up like a pirate in the video, he’d have second thoughts about sending me.
I don’t think they’d be upset about that, they would most likely be like ” how does you going enhance any of the projects are working on ” or “will you be getting people to buy our $200K products”
Done. The Hackaday Prize money definitely helped.
Have the times of the workshops been worked out yet? I would like to register for one but am not sure what time I will be in town.
