Classes

This year, WUSS will be introducing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and there will not be devices available on-site for Hands-On Workshops and Classes. Please make sure you have your own licensed copy of SAS installed on your device or download the free SAS University Edition.

Further your SAS education by attending one or more Full-day or Half-day classes offered before or after the conference.  Classes are led by highly regarded experts in the SAS community, including instructors from SAS Institute, SAS Press authors, and SAS Alliance partners.

Full-day and Half-day Classes are not included in conference registration and must be added separately. Classes may be changed after August 26, but changes are not guaranteed and there will be a $50 processing fee.
