LDP Connect | The Community of Early Talent Development Professionals | Summit Concern_Budget

You've been told there isn't enough budget?

It’s true that conferences cost money, but whether they are “expensive” or “cheap” depends completely on expected value. If the testimonials we’ve gotten since 2012 are any indication, you can expect very high value from attending the LDP Summit. And if the value is there, the investment is worth it!

If you need to convince a budget-holder to fund your trip to the LDP Summit this year, you might try asking that person two questions:

  1. “What would be a huge performance win for me and our team this year?”
  2. “Are you willing to invest in my professional development so that I can make that happen?”

It’s tough for a boss to say “no” to that question (as it should be!). And if you’re the one managing the budget, ask yourself the same two questions!

Join us. We want to meet you in Atlanta this May!

Have questions or other concerns?  Please let us know. Or reserve a seat at the conference by January 31st and save $105!
