Dear (SUPERVISOR),
Please consider my request to attend the Industrial Designers Society of America’s West District Design Conference—Design:HYBRID—from April 23–24 at the University of Oregon in Portland.
This year, the regional conference—chaired by Jason Belaire, IDSA—features speakers who are top designers, or experts in related fields, from some of the world’s major corporations and/or leading design firms such as Facebook, Pinterest, Uber, Intuit, Dassault Systèmes, Evolve Collaborative, RKS Design, Unity Labs, Artefact and more.
I am excited to bring back invaluable knowledge to share with my colleagues at (YOUR COMPANY; FIRM; OR SCHOOL HERE) to enhance our environment and productivity.
Sessions, workshops or talks will be held on innovation; collaboration; communication strategies; creativity; cutting edge hardware and software; design thinking; marketing; stimulating the design process from digital to physical; storyboarding; artificial intelligence (AI); user interface (UI); virtual reality (VR); extended reality (XR); augmented reality (AR) and more.
As speaker Christian Freissler puts it, “It’s time to bring a little bit of creative play into your process to foster an environment where designers, clients and users can create together."
My approximate cost of attending WDDC is:
Hotel: Embassy Suites by Hilton–Portland Downtown
