As always, SAS Global Forum holds a wealth of inspiration. The conversations that I have with you guys while I'm there almost always start with, "I just heard/saw/read the coolest thing. I can't wait to get home and get started using this!" For those of you who missed this year's big dance, we missed you! So, my colleagues and I have tried to collect as much of the inspiration and spirit as possible. We'll be putting it on the SAS Software YouTube channel, and our social channels. You can also read all of the papers online.
