That's right - PharmaSUG is definitely a not-to-be-missed, fun and informative conference. Especially our keynote speech at Sunday dinner, which I think is to be given by some guy named Mike from SAS Mecca talking about how "It's Not Easy Being a SAS Programmer"! ;-)

See you all in Nashville. Discount registration is available until March 26.

-Richard

Richard, PharmaSUG 2011 looks like a not-to-be-missed, fun and informative conference!  But, tell me, who do they happen to have as their keynote speaker this year?

Richard, best of luck in all your SAS endeavors!

I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
