I wish it was closer to home but I am heading out for a much needed escapade. I can't wait to meet all the reputable ladies to share stories with and also some handsome hunks to network with as well.  
 
I have a strong interest in getting this type of hands on experience. I hope to further develop my professional background. I've been doing research for long enough and figured I should just go... no risk no reward!!!  
 
I would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss this with anyone already attending and I can provide further information on my behalf. I look forward to speaking with you about this exciting opportunity.....better yet, see you there
