SESUG 2002 is only 27 days away. SESUG 2002 promises to be one of the top learning events of 2002. Will you be there?

Conference Registration ----------------------- At $330 per person, this is a major bargain in terms of professional development and networking opportunities. The conference fee includes admission to 100 presentations as well as access to the "Demo area" featuring the latest from SAS Institute and other fine vendors. No wonder such a large percentage of attendees go back to the office with information they can use immediately. The two days invested now can easily save weeks of effort later.

There is a $30 per person discount on groups of 3 or more paying attendees from a single employer.

Hurry, before pre-registration rates and discounts disappear on September 12. Go to www.sesug.org/SESUG02 and click on Registration. Call Debbie Skinner, our registrar, with questions at 916-353-2992.

Hotel Reservations ------------------ At the Hyatt Regency, rooms at the conference rate of $135 are already sold out for Saturday (barring cancellations) night. Other nights are still available, but the conference rate is not guaranteed after August 28 (Wednesday). Call 912-238-1234 for reservations.

The Days Inn, which is one block away from the Hyatt, has rooms for $89/night and suites for $109 (makes it easy to share for the budget-minded). Call 912-236-4440 for reservations.

Weekend Workshops ----------------- These short courses are available Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday of the conference week at a cost of $125/half day. They are taught by experts in many areas of SAS software. For a complete list, go to:
