Make the Case For Novi Summit

Hi [Name],

I'd like to request approval to attend Novi Summit 2027, February 15–17, in Tampa, Florida.

As our association continues to look for ways to operate more efficiently and better serve our members, I see Novi Summit as an opportunity to maximize the value of technology we've already invested in.

Unlike a traditional industry conference, Novi Summit focuses on helping associations get more out of the platform they use every day. It brings together Novi customers and the Novi team for practical learning, collaboration, and actionable strategies we can bring back to our organization.

Attending would help me:

• Maximize our investment in Novi. Discover features, functionality, and best practices we may not be fully utilizing today.
• Improve operational efficiency. Learn ways to automate manual tasks, streamline workflows, and free up staff time for higher-value work.
• Stay ahead of what's coming. Get an inside look at new Novi features and upcoming enhancements, and discover how we can leverage them to better serve our members.
• Have a voice in Novi's future. Participate in the popular You Decide session, where customers vote on potential new features and enhancements, helping shape Novi's product development priorities.
• Learn from other associations. Connect with peers facing similar challenges, exchange ideas, and learn what's working for their organizations.
• Strengthen our member experience. Explore ways to better leverage Novi's capabilities and our member data to support engagement, retention, and organizational goals.

Turning what I learn into action

My goal isn't simply to attend sessions and take notes. I want to return with a clear plan for applying what I've learned.

Throughout Summit, I'll use the From Insight to Implementation Worksheet to capture ideas, evaluate opportunities based on their potential impact and effort, and identify three actionable priorities for our association.

Following the event, I'll share my key takeaways and recommendations with our team, including potential quick wins and next steps for implementation.

I believe Novi Summit would be a worthwhile investment in our team's professional development, our operational effectiveness, and our ability to get the most value from Novi.

Thank you for considering my request!
