Dear Approving Manager:
I am writing to request your approval to attend the 19th Software Design for Medical Devices taking place May 11-12 in San Francisco.
This valuable educational event stands out from other conferences in software design as it features panel discussions, case studies, interactive workshops and networking sessions conducive to practical learning. The comprehensive summit program will address:
· Mobile Medical
· Human Factors
· Cyber Security
· Interoperability
· Data Analytics
· Quality Assurance
· Regulatory Compliance
· Agile Development
By attending this event, I expect to learn about important industry trends, processes and technical & strategic thinking to improve our knowledge and use of Software Design in our manufacturing operations. I will also have the chance to benchmark against several of our peer and competitor organizations through scheduled networking activities.
Here are three examples of specific in-depth presentations I plan to attend:
· Maximizing Usabiltity through Human Factor Methodologies
§ Wendy Yee, Usability & User Experience Lead, Philips Healthcare
· Exploring Next-Generation Healthcare
§ Don Woodlock, SVP & GM, Cardiology IT, GE Healthcare
§ Evren Eryurek, Software Chief Technology Officer, GE Healthcare

If I register by February 20, I can register with the Summit Pass for End Users* only at $1,199. This Summit Pass price is only being offered for a limited time and includes the two main summit days. Workshops can be booked separately for $549.
The End User All-Access Pass is $2,199. This price includes the two main summit days and the pre-summit Workshop Day.
In addition, as an attendee I will receive all summit presentations and materials. After returning from the 19th Software Design for Medical Devices Summit, I’d like the opportunity to review these materials with you and discuss how we can leverage them for further training of our team.
