Dear [name],
I would like to attend the Swiss Biotech Day on April 26 and 27, 2027, in Basel.

For us, this event offers [three or four concrete objectives: e.g. meetings with potential partners and investors booked in advance on the partnering platform, an overview of the Swiss pipeline in the company presentation tracks, and the latest market data from the Swiss Biotech Report].
The conference pass covers partnering, catering and the welcome reception. Including travel and one hotel night, the total cost is approximately [amount]. I will share a summary of the meetings, and new busines pipeline generated, as well as insights with the team afterwards.
Kind regards,
