In less than two weeks, I’ll be in sunny Florida attending a brand new conference. According to their Web site, Statistical Practice 2012 aims to bring together hundreds of statistical practitioners, including data analysts, researchers and scientists who engage in the application of statistics to solve real-world problems on a daily basis. The conference will provide an opportunity to learn about the latest statistical methodologies and best practices in statistical design, analysis, programming and consulting.

I hope the conference is an opportunity for attendees to learn specifically about SAS and what we can offer them. Attendees will have access to SAS R&D, SAS Publishing and JMP at this conference. As a member of SAS Publishing, I’ll be on hand with a variety of books that will help solve the daily problems encountered by statisticians and analysts. Attendees can browse these books and place orders (at a 20% discount!) during the conference. I’ll also be looking for new authors on topics such as bayesian analysis, cluster analysis, power and sample size, reliability analysis, and much more.

So make sure you come in out of the sun and warmth for a visit. You never know what you might learn from SAS!
