SAMPLE LETTER

To:          [boss’s email address/name]
From:     [your email address/name]
Subject: Attending the 2023 UCDA Design Conference

Dear [insert boss’s name],

I would like to invest in my professional development by attending the 2023 UCDA Design Conference from October 14-17 in Atlanta, Georgia. Unlike other design conferences, UCDA is focused on the creative that works in education, like me.

Here are some reasons why I’d like to attend this year:

I’ll bring back knowledge from design leaders in education
There will be specially curated main stage and concurrent sessions over four days that cover the gamut of work that we do, plus additional content happenings throughout the conference.

I’ll meet other design professionals across the country
UCDA is full of people dealing with the same issues we face. I’ll be able to connect with others who have found solutions.

I’ll get inspired by others
Not only will I get to see the award-winning work from the UCDA Design Awards, but I’ll get the chance to connect with vendors who love working with those of us at educational institutions.

Thank you for considering this request to invest in my professional development. It’s a great chance to hear from leaders in educational design and be inspired by fellow designers.

Also, the early bird registration date is coming up on August 1—if registered by then, we can save $150. You can learn more at atlanta.ucda.com.
