Liz, I had to tell my boss how much I wanted to spend for "training" just this morning too. Well, how much I wanted them to want ...
The actual agenda probably won't be set for some time yet, as there is yet to be a call for presentations and submissions and vendors and so forth. You can get a pretty good idea of what's in store, however, by looking at the subjects of the last couple of WWRUG's. Try wwrug10.com and http://www.wwrug.org/wwrug10/multimedia_09.html for starters. Maybe you shouldn't show your boss *all* the pictures. As for the cost, travel to DC varies by starting point, the hotel will be under $200/night, there are shuttles and mass transit nearby, and the conference prices last year ranged from $1100-1950, depending on how far in advance you registered and whether you claimed to be an "executive" (see https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?EventID=837003). It's too soon to tell if the cost will be more or less than WWRUG10 - new venue, logistics and probably a lot more attendees to spread the fixed costs around. After all WWRUG11 is more than 7 months from now and some of use are still just the teensiest bit hung over. There is no question that WWRUG is the very best investment you or your employer can make in your career. I look forward to seeing you there!
