Subject: How my attendance at DevReach will benefit our business
I’m requesting approval to attend the DevReach conference in Boston, MA from September 11–14, 2022.
By attending, I can gain insights that will enable me and my team to optimize our capabilities in a host of areas including:
- Modern web frameworks, including Blazor, Angular and React
- The future of .NET desktop and mobile, including .NET MAUI
- The democratization of apps through accessibility and design
- Testing, debugging, mocking and more
DevReach is also part of Progress360 which means I not only get access to everything DevReach has to offer, but I’ll also have access to ChefConf sessions. ChefConf is the event for DevOps professionals that will dive into the latest innovations and practices in DevOps, DevSecOps, compliance and security, IT leadership and IT operations as well as the larger Progress community. I will also have direct access to Progress product leaders and decision makers that could potentially influence future product direction.
If I’m able to attend DevReach, I’ll come back with actionable tips, products and practices to drive business outcomes. My conference schedule will reflect our highest priorities.

When: September 12 - Monday evening, just before the cocktail hour
What’s More
What’s more, September is a beautiful time to be in Boston. Whether you visit the world-famous Quincy Market, experience the Boston Red Sox vs. NY Yankees rivalry live, grab drinks in the bustling Seaport District or take in our history or public gardens, Boston awaits after your sessions end.
Sept 10 & 11 | Art
Immersive Monet and the Impressionists
the Castle - 130 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA
And Even More Things to Do and Visit…
This Italian neighborhood, Boston’s oldest, is known for its wonderful restaurants and historic sights. Walk the cobblestone streets, take in the aromas of delicious food and visit Paul Revere’s house while you’re in the neighborhood.
Explore more than 100 galleries of art, from ancient to contemporary, at the MFA or visit the unique Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the home to the largest property theft in the world.
Take a walk through the Public Gardens areas. You’ll see the bench where Robin Williams sat during Goodwill Hunting, beautiful gardens and swan boats across the water. After you walk the Gardens the Boston Common, stroll down Newbury Street, a famous shopping and dining district in Boston.
If you have the time, Harvard Square is a good take - roughly 20 minutes from Seaport. You can walk Harvard’s campus, check out their book store, dine in the local restaurants and cafes and stop in a handful of shops.
Located in Seaport and home to New England’s original IPA, you can take a tour of the brewery or simply take a seat in the beer hall (be sure to order their famous pretzels).
A near-continuous, 43-mile linear park along Boston’s shoreline, the Harborwalk connects Boston’s waterfront neighborhoods to Boston Harbor and each other. And lucky for you, the Seaport stretch of the Harbor has the most beautiful views and great bars and restaurants nearby.
Built in 1742 and now a stop on the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall has had a long and important history in Massachusetts politics. Samuel Adams once stood here to push for resistance against the British, and abolitionists and suffragists have stood on their soapboxes here.
