Dear Readers -

SAS Global Forum is over until next year. It will probably take most of us that much time to recover. The conference this year in Seattle was amazing. It was fantastic meeting SAS users, SAS Press authors, and readers of SAS Publishing News. All of us at here at SAS Publishing came back brimming with new ideas based on your feedback. Stayed tuned for next month when we will have podcasts and videos from interviews with SAS Press authors who were at the conference. Until then, you can go to our Facebook page to see photos of the lucky winners of our mega book drawing that took place during the demo room reception. Each winner met the author and had their book signed.

Feel free to let us know other ways that we can help you find the information and news that you need. As always, we appreciate you being a SAS user and subscribing to SAS Publishing News.

Regards-
Judi Rourke
Editor, SAS Publishing News
