Most of the time assistants tell me they can’t attend our conference for administrative assistants or training because of budget cuts or not getting financial support. Sometimes it really is a budget issue. Executives travel all over the country. Negotiate if necessary. Have the courage to go after what you want.

It could be the venue, the presentations or the networking elements.

It is easy to negotiate on the price per night with a serviced apartment as they do tend to discount on block bookings. In comparison hotel rooms at a similar price in London are very small.

Assistants should be a business partner to their executive, so start acting like a business partner and convince your manager why you should be allowed to travel out of state. Emphasize the benefits of networking with peers and learning from others in the field. Negotiate if necessary.
