Attend SAS User Forum and get inspired by best practice from SAS experts, updated on analytics news, and clued-in about the best hands-on tips and tricks you can implement directly after the conference.
Together with FANS, the new Nordic User Group, we are building a program that goes deeper into news and use of SAS software.
In addition to being a social arena where you can meet hundreds of peers, this forum will give you a broader knowledge of SAS capabilities and the benefits they bring to your work. Learn and be motivated by best practice from other SAS customers, partners and advisers.
You can expect:
- The latest on new products and technology
- Real-life use cases
- In-depth sessions with more demos than PowerPoints
- Networking with hundreds of peers
- Dinner with social mingling as well as fun and games
- Education corner
