The purpose of the SAUSAG meetings is to bring together a wide variety of SAS users for an exchange of views and news on the various uses of SAS software. We encourage as many as possible to take the opportunity to demonstrate how they are using SAS, whether it be leading edge, or something that has spanned the passage of time. It's also one of the few opportunities to compare your work to those in different industry groups. Make it your mission too.

SAUSAG is the official SAS Users Group for ACT and surrounding regions. The name comes from SAs USers Act Group - we couldn't find anything to map with the E in SAUSAGE, but that shouldn't preclude us from running a BBQ now and then. SAUSAG meets 4 times a year usually at 4:00pm for a 4:15pm start, at a venue in central Canberra. Meeting dates are shown below.
