SAS Global Forum 2014 was a great success, with the SAS Studio, a web based SAS interface garnering a lot of attention.  SAS also announced the availability of SAS Analytics U, providing free web based access to SAS analytics for students, faculty and researchers.

The conference had multiple paper  and Super demos on data visualization presented by SAS staff.   A large number of excellent papers on graphics were presented by SAS users.   We noted that a large majority of users are now using SAS 9.3, with many users using SAS 9.4.

As promised, here are the links for graphics related presentations from SASGF 2014.  I included some additional papers I missed in the original list.
