Conference funding application - justification

T

Probably an inexperienced question... any help appreciated...

I'm applying for funding to attend a conference and the form is asking what benefits of me attending the conference are - and it wants a few hundred words justification. My main benefit is that I will get to disseminate this piece of research. Obviously I will meet people and hear about others work. And I will talk with people and establish new connections for possible future collaborations. But how to turn that into a detailed response of a few hundred words? Maybe I should cite particular groups who I know will be there whose work is of interest to me?! Any ideas would be helpful.

All done! Once I got going, it wasn't hard after all! Thanks anyway :)
