What participants say about the M-series:
"The educational content, exchange of ideas, and intellectual environment
I found at the conference exceeded my expectations and confirmed SAS'
place as the premier data mining conference in the world."
~~~~~~~~~
"Right time. Right place. Right content."
~~~~~~~~~
"This was a superb environment - one of the smartest conference venues I
have experienced (and I have experienced a lot). The talks went into
greater depth than the talks at many such meetings. Many of the talks were
particularly valuable in shedding light on different application areas of
data mining."
