The SAS Global Forum 2011 conference will be my 3rd year attending. 2008 was my first SAS Global Forum, which took place in San Antonio, Texas. I found each conference provided a unique experience. The conference chair and committee do an amazing job of making each conference interesting and meaningful. I look forward to participating at this year's conference at Caesars Palace, which is a great venue and has wonderful entertainment. Regarding my paper presentation on April 6, 2011, I am dividing my talk into three segments: research methods, statistical techniques and SAS applications used in my research. I will try to keep it interesting, so hopefully no one falls asleep!
