Dear Readers,
Welcome to issue 31 of 'In the Know' (ITK). ITK brings you news, tips, special offers and information from the world of SAS.
This edition is dedicated to our recent 'SAS Special Interest Groups' (SIGs) event. Over 150 SAS users joined us in Marlow for a day of in-depth technology presentations; as well as plenty of food and drink. The weather was great, and it was good to see many of you there. There were six SIGs, and you can read more about them below.
If you enjoyed the SIGs, or need to find out more about the application of SAS technology, look out for this year's SAS Forum UK. You can find out more about SAS Forum UK in the events section of this edition.
Finally, if you haven't signed up for our social networking site http://sasprofessionals.ning.com yet, then take a moment to do so.
It's a great way to learn more and network with other SAS users as well as experts from SAS.
Any comments or ideas, drop me a line at Philip.Male@suk.sas.com.
