SAS® Tech Report SAS

Dear Readers,

In this edition, we’re going to recap some of the things that we found most interesting and fun about the user’s conferences from 2008. I’ve included an article that brings together experiences from several of our SAS staff. Send me your photos, stories and videos and I’ll post those in a future edition.

While we’re talking about conferences, now is the time to seriously think about SAS Global Forum 2009. Renee Harper has covered the details in her Key Happenings blog so you won’t miss a thing. You should also go back and look at these YouTube videos that we shot last year. They’ll make you rush to early registration.
