SAS User Groups: Inspiring Visit to SAS UK Professional Conference
Each conference I attend, I walk away with a dozen ideas for the blog posts, SAS programs, and future papers and presentations. The SAS UK Professional Forum was no different. Plus I learned how to really speak English from the British – you should be glad they got me “sorted” and now I’m in the right “bit”. SAS BI Book was Key to BI Content Exam The first day of the conference is dedicated to taking the SAS Certification exams. It was nice because SAS had created study groups several months earlier and used a team approach for taking the exam. So all the folks interested in the SAS BI exams were placed in a group and encouraged to study together. On the day of the exam, the SAS team offered some last-minute tips and encouragement. Here’s a picture of the folks who took the SAS BI Content and Admin exams. These three fellows were some of the ones who made sure I knew that the Building Business Intelligence with SAS book was helpful. Thanks Chris Dillion (@CMDillon) for supplying the study group with the book. Paul Dutton passed the exam in 12 minutes. He said his key was reading the […]

User Conferences = Busy Summer
It’s going to be a busy summer with a lot of travel. I’ve been invited to several user conferences so I’m really excited to get to meet even more SAS users, pick up some great tips for others, and wear myself out chatting. Wisconsin Illinois SAS Users Summer ConferenceMilwaukee, WIJune 27 This SAS user group is having a summer conference [Conference Brochure] in Milwaukee, WI on June 27th. I have never been to Wisconsin so I’m really excited to spend at least one day there. Summerfest, the world’s largest music festivals opens on the same day! At this conference I’ll be talking about the first steps to creating SAS stored processes and offer 25 tips for using SAS Enterprise Guide. I just finished the presentations yesterday – I’m really exhausted but the presentations are going to be fun. For the SAS Enterprise Guide topic I’m using some UFO data and interweaving UFO trivia with the presentation. I need to find tin foil hats for us all to wear – so the aliens cannot read our SAS brain waves. You totally know we would be asked to analyze alien trends – how to improve time warp speed … etc. But it won’t […]
