About the South Central SAS Users Group (SCSUG) Education Forum

Since our “zero” conference in Houston in 1990, and our all volunteer 1st conference in 1991 in
Arlington, TX, South Central SAS Users Group, Inc., (SCSUG) has hosted events for SAS Users
in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and New Mexico with the purpose of learning and
sharing SAS knowledge with fellow SAS Users. We have been able to provide a forum for SAS
Users to share and learn about the software, network with SAS staff and other Users, and provide
a platform for everyone to expand their knowledge of SAS. We have planned for everyone to
have fun while learning new things about SAS.

Here are a few things sure to happen at SCSUG Forums:
     • Keynote Presentations by leading SAS staff, authors, and users
     • There will be lots of papers presented! Our last forum hosted 75 papers
     • Our Student Scholarship Fellows and Jr Pros will be presenting
     • SAS Super Demos, STAT Tutorial, and SAS presentations by SAS staff
     • SAS Resource Room
     • Breakfast, lunch, breaks included, so you don’t need to leave to find food.
     • Mixers each evening of the Forum. Yes, there will be food.
