Call For Paper and Poster Presentations

The PhilaSUG Executive Committee requests presentation abstracts. If you have thought about giving a presentation to PhilaSUG but weren't sure what's involved, these guidelines should clear things up for you. If you haven't thought about giving a presentation, perhaps you should think about it.

Are you looking for an opportunity to share your knowledge about SAS and learn from other experts?
