SAS Global Forum 2014 registration--7 ways to save

Every year, conference organizers get this same request “I want to attend a SAS conference, but my travel funds are limited, what do you recommend?” This seems like a good opportunity to share some of the clever ways this year’s SAS conference leaders are helping you save on SAS Global Forum 2014 registration!

1. Register before March 12. Spring is just around the corner, and we just can’t wait! Business and government attendees can use the promo code when registering and save $50 per person.

2. Team up. Team discounts for groups of 10 or more can help your organization get more for the money. Groups can register online through March 21.

3. Go local. The conference is being held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, located just eight miles from Washington, DC. For those who can’t be out of the office for more than a day, day passes are available online and on-site during the conference.

4. Use your points. They’re not just for airlines and grocery stores. SAS Global Forum attendees who sign up for pre- or post-conference training or certification exams can use SAS Training Points or EPTO units to cover their SAS Global Forum event registration fees.

5. Validate your parking. Self-parking passes will be available for local commuters on a first-come, first-served basis. Simply bring your ticket to registration, and we’ll validate it. Combine this benefit with a day pass and a great list of presentations—that’s a good deal in you work in the DC area.

6. Consider it an investment. SAS Global Forum 2014 is hosting more that 500 sessions this year. All of them are targeted to helping you sharpen your SAS skills--what better investment than that! Use the conference scheduler to find informative keynotes, tutorials and certification testing, hands-on workshops, demos and much, much more. Oh – and there’s always plenty of opportunity for networking because meals, receptions and charity events are included.

7. Convince your manager. I’m planning to attend, and my manager is coming too!  If you still need to convince your manager that attending the conference is the best way to make sure your organization is getting the most out of its SAS investment, try downloading this letter as a start.

Hope to meet many of you in DC, March 23-26!
