Subject: Professional development opportunity: QT Qonference, November 18-19, Toronto
Hi [name],
I'd like to attend QT Qonference 2026 in Toronto on November 18-19, Canada's largest 2SLGBTQI+ tech conference.
This year's theme, Power, Participation & Accountability, focuses on one of the most pressing issues in our industry right now: who gets to shape AI, and who is responsible when it fails. The program brings together leaders, founders, and experts for sessions on AI governance, inclusive tech, and the future of work.
Attending would give me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge on AI and its implications for our organization, build relationships with professionals across the tech ecosystem, and bring back insights and connections that directly support our team's goals.
The Professional Ticket is $250 CAD, and includes full two-day conference access, networking tools, and meals. I'm also happy to share a summary of key takeaways with the team after the event!
Thank you,
[Your name]
