Call for Papers and Participation


The call for papers is closed! For Seattle, that is. A new Call has been issued for SAS Global Forum 2011.

Are you looking for an opportunity to share your knowledge about SAS and learn from other experts?

Paper presentations are the ultimate way to not only gain recognition for your expertise among fellow SAS® professionals but also contribute and expand the dialogue and sharing of ideas - a practice that has distinguished the SAS community and attendees of SAS Global Forum for decades.

All attendees benefit directly from your participation as you present your insights and new perspectives, answer questions and provide recommendations to your colleagues.

Thank you for sharing your insights and making SAS Global Forum not only the largest, but most content-rich experience for SAS professionals around the world.
