Dear ​[Insert Supervisor’s Name]: 

I would like to attend the Higher Education Web Professionals Association (HighEdWeb) 2024 Annual Conference this Sept. 22-25 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I am writing to ask for your approval and support. 

The HighEdWeb Annual Conference brings together a diverse community of attendees — from developers to marketers, content strategists to designers, social media managers to videographers, and all team members in-between — to learn from top experts and one another. It offers smart, detailed and diverse sessions that address the challenges and opportunities we face every day.

Now, more than ever, the web and digital channels are critical tools to connect with our students, faculty, alumni and other stakeholders. A small investment in web and digital training will make an immediate impact, giving me the insights and tools to help improve my productivity and build solutions as we work toward our strategic goals. 

That’s why it’s important for me to attend HighEdWeb 2024 in person this year. The conference will also feature a topical keynote presentation and opportunities to network with other industry professionals, along with dozens of sessions on relevant topics, including:

Best of all, HighEdWeb 2024 is a great value. Registration fees are extremely reasonable for a conference of this caliber. It includes three days of programming, conference materials (including on-demand access to session recordings for two weeks after the event), daytime meals (breakfast, lunch and snacks) and evening off-site networking events. And, upon my return, I will share what I've learned with my colleagues to help further strengthen our department's digital efforts. My projected cost for attending HighEdWeb 2024 is [insert estimated costs here]. This includes registration, transportation, lodging, events and meals. 

And please note: If I’m able to register by July 31, I’ll be able to sign up at the discounted early-bird registration rate and save $100.

The HighEdWeb 2024 Annual Conference is the premier event for professionals working in the higher education digital space, and I’d really like to attend. I am confident that what I learn at HighEdWeb 2024 this September will make a lasting difference for our organization, and that I’ll return from Albuquerque with plenty of new connections and insights I can put to work right away. 

Please let me know if you would like additional information. I hope that you will grant my request for the time and resources to attend HighEdWeb 2024.

Thank you for your consideration,
[Your Name]
