Ultimately, the event is designed to help attendees level up their skills and deepen their knowledge in these areas. By participating in this event, I aim to gain access to the latest technologies, learn from GitHub experts, and take [internal project] and [internal project] to new heights. I’m also particularly excited about the GitHub certification testing that will be available on-site for Foundations, Actions, Security, Administration, and GitHub Copilot. Here’s an approximate breakout of conference costs: - General admission + keynote seating pass: $1,499 - Airfare: [add cost] - Round trip transportation between airport and hotel: $50 - Hotel: $400 per night - Meals: $30 per meal - Total: [add total cost] Buying tickets before September 4 will give us a 20% discount on all in-person passes, so I hope to hear from you soon. If I can attend, I’ll be sure to share my key takeaways, best practices, and recommendations after the event so that we can all learn and improve together. Best Regards, [Insert your name]
