I haven't read any of the referenced documents and/or urls, but I know from experience that a very good way to justify going to SHARE is to prepare a topic for presentation at SHARE that will somehow enhance your employer's reputation in the industry if it is presented, then explain to your manager why you are the best person in your company to deliver the presentation. Also you could write technical papers and send them for possible publication to any industry organizations and/or periodicals that you know of. Or think up some experiment you can perform on your employer's data center that shows a better way to do X, Y, or Z, do the experiment, write it up showing the results of the normal or most common method vs. the results of your better method, then try to get that paper published or presented at SHARE, CMG, or a similar organization.

Does anyone have a simple but effective paragraph on going to share they could share??
