The Meeting Agenda with links to presentation abstracts and presentations is directly below this section and can also be found via a link on the Meetings page along with other past meetings.

Space was limited. Registration quickly filled this year and a waiting list was created.

Be sure to register early for the 2009 SAS LA Forum. Registration will begin sometime in May and the meeting will occur on a Friday in late June 2009.

As a reference:

Early Registration was $35 until June 13, 2008

Regular Registration was $50 until June 20, 2008

On-site Registration would have been $75

Los Angeles Basin SAS Users Group holds a once a year all day event to discuss SAS related issues and to learn new ways of exploiting existing systems to get our jobs done. Novice to experienced SAS users enjoyed quality presentations from fellow SAS users and SAS Institute.

Volunteers are needed.

A new Jobs link to the Opportunity Registry at sasCommunity.org has been added to the Links page. You can use the Opportunity Registry to look for jobs or to post jobs. Instructions for posting a job can be found at the top of the Opportunity Registry page.
