Networking and Fun Highlights
If you’ve attended PharmaSUG before, you’ll remember that the conference is famous for its food and hospitality, and networking opportunities abound.
- When you’re not attending a paper, check out the demo room: More than 30 exhibitors and lots of folks from SAS will be in the large demo room.
- Are you baseball fan? There’s an optional outing to see the San Diego Padres!
- Want to see a part of history and get the best view of the harbor and skyline? Included in your registration fee is the PharmaSUG / SAS User Appreciation Mixer aboard the U.S.S. Midway. You can try out flight simulators, take a tour or shop, and then conclude your visit with food and beverages on the flight deck.
I can’t wait to head to San Diego! Why don’t you join me at the premier event of the year for SAS users in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, and related industries? You can save $100 or more off the already affordable registration fee if you register by April 28.
