SAS Global Forum 2014--live on your desktop

Yesterday, I was on a phone call with a disappointed SAS user who won't be attending SAS Global Forum 2014. Like many others, her organization is facing another year of reduced travel and conference budgets.

While there's no substitute for attending in person, live webcasts from SAS Global Forum make it possible to hear first-hand from conference leaders, SAS users and select SAS staff. It's like having a mini-conference right on your desktop!

You'll find a daily playlist of live webcast events on the SAS Global Forum Live and On Demand site. Here's an overview of some of the great content you can take advantage of:

Opening Session:  Join us at the main stage for some of the biggest announcements and presentations during the conference. You will hear from Marje Fecht, this year's conference chair as well as key members of the SAS executive team, including SAS CEO Jim Goodnight.
