Virtual SAS(R) User Group (VirtualSUG) Presentations

Thursday, Feb. 14 and Friday, Feb. 15, 2008

Please join us on for one or more of the four free 50-minute tutorials
presented by VirutalSUG: the Virtual SAS Users Group.

These sessions are offered as a free service to the SAS software user
community via the Virtual SAS Users Group.

We have made important changes to VirtualSUG that increase the number
of people who can attend each session and also streamline the
registration and sign-in processes. These changes include:
* You may now sign up for and attend multiple sessions per day
* Streamlined registration and sign-in procedures
* Automatic confirmation of registration sent via email immediately
after you complete your enrollment
* Reminder sent by email one hour before session start time.
* Easier sign-in at event start time
* Up to 1,000 attendees are permitted at each session, essentially
guaranteeing opportunities for everyone to sign up for the sessions
they want to attend
* Voice transmission via telephone rather than VOIP (Voice Over
Internet Protocol), which was problematic for many attendees with our
previous meeting service.  Instead, you will need to call an in-bound
toll telephone number, which is shown in the registration
confirmation, to hear the voice portion of the presentation.
Attendees are responsible for the cost of the inbound toll call.
