The people, the energy, the quality of the content, the demos, the networking opportunities…whew, all of these things combine to make SAS Global Forum great every year. And that is no exception this year.
Preparations are in full swing for an unforgettable conference. I hope you’ve seen the notifications that we set the date, actually multiple dates around the world so that you can enjoy the content in your region and in your time zone. No one needs to set their alarm for 1:00am to attend the conference!
Go ahead and save the date(s)…you don’t want to miss this event!
Content, content, content
We are working hard to replicate the energy and excitement of a live conference in the virtual world. But we know content is king, so we have some amazing speakers and content lined up to make the conference relevant for you. There will be more than 150 breakout sessions for business leaders and SAS users, plus the demos will allow you to see firsthand the innovative solutions from SAS, and the people who make them. I, for one, am looking forward to attending live sessions that will allow attendees the opportunity to ask presenters questions and have them respond in real time.
Our keynote speakers, while still under wraps for now, will have you on the edge of your seats (or couches…no judgement here!).
Networking and entertainment
You read that correctly. We will have live entertainment that’ll have you glued to the screen. And you’ll be able to network with SAS experts and peers alike. But you don’t have to wait until the conference begins to network, the SAS Global Forum virtual community is up and running. Join the group to start engaging with other attendees, and maybe take a guess or two at who the live entertainment might be.
A big thank you
We are working hard to bring you the best conference possible, but this isn’t a one-woman show. It takes a team, so I would like to introduce and thank the conference teams for 2021. The Content Advisory Team ensures the Users Program sessions meet the needs of our diverse global audience. The Content Delivery Team ensures that conference presenters and authors have the tools and resources needed to provide high-quality presentations and papers. And, finally, the SAS Advisers help us in a multitude of ways. Thank you all for your time and effort so far!
Registration opens in April, so stay tuned for that announcement. I look forward to “seeing” you all in May.
