I’m jumping in here to keep the blog balls in the air. With The Premiere Business Leadership Series in Las Vegas in full swing, there’s so much great material to share. We’ve tasked communication team members at the event with capturing and sharing as much of the great insights, advice and best practices we can with those who couldn’t attend.

But let’s not overlook what others are finding interesting enough to share. Stacey Hamilton has been providing day-by-day highlights from M2009, and The Series. Her reports and reflections are on the SAS Publishing blog. M2009 is the world's largest data mining conference.

When not busy giving away books, having her photo taken with Penn, and pitting Bobby Flay against Joe’s Seafood and Prime Steak, Stacey writes about some of the really smart people sharing their expertise, including SAS Press authors Randy Collica and Bobby Hull (not the hockey player, the optimization expert). Take a minute to check her videos, photos and other links.
