These shows feature SAS technical experts (mostly from SAS R&D) who are prepared to discuss and demonstrate the technologies that they work on. These folks have job titles such as "Chief Data Scientist", "Principal Research Statistician", and "Senior Analytical Consultant". They work in areas such as "SAS Output Delivery and Reporting", "BI Data Visualization", and "Enterprise Management Integration".
These guests represent the SAS R&D talent that bring the SAS products to life. Some will be names that you know from books and blogs, such as Rick Wicklin. Others are return guests to SAS Tech Talk, such as Nascif and Himesh. And still others might be faces that are new to you, but they are the movers and shakers when it comes to SAS technology.
This year we have three SAS Tech Talk shows:
- Monday, 24March at 2pm EDT
- Tuesday, 25March at 2pm EDT
- Wednesday, 26March at 9am EDT
Each show is different, and we're covering 12 great topics in all. I'm very excited about this year's lineup! I'd list out the topics right here, but some are the subject of exciting product announcements and I don't want to steal anyone's thunder!
There is no doubt that you get the best conference experience when you can attend in person. But even if you cannot attend this year, you don't have to miss out. Much of the content -- the opening sessions, SAS Tech Talk, and many breakout sessions -- will be streamed on live video channels, all hosted at www.sasglobalforum.com. Any content that is streamed will also be archived so that you can watch it later (can you say "movie night"?).

Chris, where can I find documentation and instructions on how to redirect my WORK and USER library locations in Enterprise Guide? My PC based EG is pointing to C: drive locations that I do not have permission to update. I've googled but I have not found my answer.
James, it's unusual to not have permissions to WORK. Are you using EG along with SAS on your PC? Or is the SAS session a remote server? That is, are you using "no profile" mode?
The only time I've seen this play up is when I'm using a single machine instance of SAS with a metadata server, and I'm using an account (such as "sasdemo") that doesn't have very many privileges on my local machine.
