Sample email to your manager

Dear [INSERT MANAGER NAME],

I am writing to request approval to attend The Blue Light Show 2026 on 1-2 July at Olympia London.

This emergency services conference brings together policing, fire and rescue, ambulance, search and rescue and other public safety professionals. Its purpose is to share operational learning, examine new equipment and improve cross agency coordination. I believe my attendance would directly support our operational effectiveness and align with our service priorities.

The show is free to attend and includes an award winning programme focused on incident learning, emergency services collaboration, leadership development and emerging risks. These are areas that contribute to safer operations and improved outcomes for the public.

By attending, I aim to:

• Learn from other agencies to support better joint working and smoother operational coordination
• Explore new kit, tools, vehicles and technology that could benefit our service
• Bring back ideas, real-world insights and recommendations that could support improvements within our team

I am happy to provide a short written summary or presentation on key takeaways so the team benefits from the learning.

You can find more details about The Blue Light Show here: www.bluelight.show

Please let me know if I have your approval to register.

Kind regards,
[Your Name]
