Justification Letter Template - ACGI Knowledge Days 2014 Users Conference

<Date>

Dear <Supervisor's Name>,
I would like to attend ACGI Software’s 2014 Knowledge Days Users Conference, May 4-6, in Baltimore, MD and wanted to let you know why this conference will be valuable for me and [ORGANIZATION NAME].

For the 2014 Knowledge Days, ACGI has dramatically expanded the number and types of sessions on offer. And for the first time, the conference agenda has been organized into multiple tracks to help customers maximize their time at Knowledge Days. One track is dedicated to AMS user-training courses, which will focus on task-specific lessons to get the most out of Association Anywhere’s features. Based on [ORGANIZATION NAME]’s use of Association Anywhere, I am especially interested in these sessions:

  1. Session One
  2. Session Two
  3. Session Three
  4. Session Four

Like any high-caliber association management conference, the value of KDays 2014 will extend beyond product-specific training and education sessions. By attending, I’ll be exposed to fresh ideas and best practices shared by industry peers, ACGI’s team of AMS experts, industry consultants and ACGI’s technology partners.

Registration Fees (Required):

To help make KDays 2014 more affordable, ACGI is offering discounts for early registration. If I am able to register by December 16th, we will save the most - about $135 off standard registration fees. Depending on how many people we are able to send to the conference, additional discounts are given. Our per-person cost of participation will range between $545 and $695, with Hummingbird pricing. Please see conference pricing below.

Hotel Discounts:

ACGI has negotiated a special conference rate starting at $169 per night (does not include taxes and additional hotel fees) at the Sheraton Inner Harbor, the conference hotel - almost half off regular room rate. There are a variety of room options at discounted rates to help us save, whether we send one of us or more:

  • Rooms & Rates per night (subject to availability)
    Singles: $169
    Doubles: $169
    Triples: $189
    Quads: $209
    Suites: $750 and up

To take advantage of these rates, we need to make reservations before April 11, 2014. Reservations can be made online or directly with the Sheraton at 410-962-8300. We need to mention ACGI KDAYS 2014 to get the discount.

As you consider my request, please keep in mind the advanced skills and industry best practices we will get by attending ACGI Knowledge Days. I believe it will be really useful for helping us address:
