Thanks for sharing the opportunities and options for networking John.

I agree that face-to-face introductions are far more rewarding than connecting digitally. However being able to connect and network digitally using social media channels (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.) can also be an ice-breaker. Social can also be a great way for people to follow and engage while at the conference or from afar.

Tricia Aanderud and I will also be hosting the #SASGF #TweetUp again on Monday, April 18th at the same time as the charity event. http://www.sas.com/en_us/events/sas-global-forum/sas-global-forum-2016/program/agenda.html We welcome everyone to join us, those that already use Twitter or would like to learn. Please come along and we'll have a chat in more than 140 characters too! ;-) Details to be posted soon.
