Please Note:
Your Personal Agenda is automatically saved and is available to you any time you log in after you set up an Attendee Profile. Building your agenda does not reserve you seat in a paper presentation. However, note that signing up for a SAS Interacts topic in Agenda Builder DOES reserve a seat at this roundtable experience. Forgot your Agenda Builder Login ID?
