SAS London User Group
The launch party for the SAS London User Group happened last night, and what an event it was! In just 5 weeks we have gone from 0 to 70+ members. A significant chunk of us (20 ish) turned up to the launch party, kindly hosted by SAS UK with a sparkling array of refreshments. Three cheers for Caroline Scottow, Sophie Ainley and Peter Hobart! Hip hip..
Celebrity number 1 of the evening was Nik Markovic, who gave us a fascinating talk on the history of the SAS platform - from the days of display manager and desktop computing through to modern day server based architectures such as SAS Viya.
Pausing for brief refreshments, the event continued with celebrity number 2 - Phil Mason. Phil shared 5 of the "Top 10 Ways to Use Stored Processes" to an intrigued audience. We'll just have to attend SGF in Denver next year to find out about the other 5!
I guess the audience must have bonded at least a little as pretty much everyone came out for post-event drinks. A smashing time was had. We hope to see as many enthusiastic SLUG-ers at the next event! See you all on Thurs 11th Jan..
