Exponential growth in data volumes triggers a corresponding rise in both data challenges and opportunities. For civilian, defense and intelligence agencies, this means gaining deeper insights into key issues – then using powerful analytics to quickly put those insights to work.

Join us for the 15th annual SAS Government Leadership Forum, a one-day event filled with thought-provoking conversations about innovative technologies that help government agencies better serve the public every day. Government executives and managers will learn what can happen when everyone has access to first-rate analytics. Productivity skyrockets, collaboration kicks in and informed decisions are made with ease.

This year’s hot topics include fraud and improper payments, cybersecurity, the Internet of Things and SAS® Viya™ – a modern, open platform that can conquer any analytics challenge.
