Subject: Request for Approval to Attend and Present at CEUG 2025
Dear <Manager>,
I would like to request your approval to attend and present at the Canadian Ellucian User Group (CEUG) 2025 Conference, taking place in Ottawa from October 14–16, 2025.
This is a unique opportunity for me to represent <Institution Name> as a conference speaker, showcasing the innovative work we are doing and contributing to national conversations around higher education technology. Participating as a presenter not only highlights our team’s achievements but also positions <Institution Name> as a leader within the <Banner/Colleague> user community.
CEUG is a well-respected, user-led conference that brings together professionals from across Canadian post-secondary institutions, including universities, colleges, and polytechnics. Attendees span diverse roles—from VPs and CIOs to Registrars, HR professionals, IT, and functional users—creating a rich environment for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration.
The agenda includes hands-on sessions from peer institutions, product updates from Ellucian, opportunities to engage with vendors, and the chance to network with colleagues facing similar challenges. Last year’s event in Vancouver drew over 400 participants, and the 2025 conference promises to be equally impactful.
As a speaker, I will receive a discounted registration fee, making attendance more cost-effective. More importantly, I will return with actionable insights, practical strategies, and new contacts that can directly benefit our ERP operations and support strategic priorities at <Institution Name>.
I am confident that my participation in CEUG 2025 will contribute to professional growth, institutional visibility, and the continuous improvement of our systems and services.
Thank you for considering my request. I would be happy to discuss this further or provide additional details as needed.
Best regards,
<Your Name>
