Conferences - FAQs

Any employee may request attendance. Approval depends on the event’s relevance, available budget, and workload considerations. Typically, subject matter experts and employees responsible for business development will receive approval to attend conferences.

At least three months before the end of the fiscal year preceding the event, to allow for budget planning. Such a request must include:

• The event name, date, and location

• A brief explanation of how the event aligns with their work

• Estimated costs (registration, travel, lodging, etc.)

• Any sessions or certifications being pursued

Requests may still be submitted, but approval will depend on available funds and scheduling. Approval is unlikely and should not be expected outside the normal request and budget cycle.

Not necessarily. Coverage depends on the approved budget and may include some or all eligible costs.

Yes. Personal days must be requested through PTO, and JBPro will only cover costs directly tied to the business portion of the trip.
