 In the December Newsletter, we shared, in case you missed it, the following topics:

FANS Network meetings and events 1H-204
We're happy to announce that all FANS network meetings and events for the first half of 2024 are online. You are welcome to register, add it to your calendar, and share it with your colleagues. You can join virtually or in-person to network with peers and share some light food and drinks. Go there!

Join us at SAS Innovate 2024 – the registration is open!

Did you miss the news that SAS Innovate is the only global SAS event for practitioners, partners, and executives in 2024 in Las Vegas on April 16-19?

If you are a FANS member or are considering becoming one, we have increased the number of tickets to SAS Innovate in the 2024 membership package alongside other attractive offerings. Please let us know if you will need any tickets. Learn how to use the FANS tickets.

If you are not a member, there are several discounts you can use (early bird, group, etc).

The event page is open as a soft launch with an agenda at a glance, but we're sharing the "goodies" early in 2024. We are also going for a joint Nordic and UK&I networking dinner during the event.

Session Suggestions by December 15
If you have experience, skills, or tips & tricks, you would like to present alone, with a colleague or partner, or SAS on stage, the deadline is December 15 for presenter submissions.

SAS provides a complimentary ticket to the conference and four nights at the conference hotel and will reimburse up to 1,000 USD for internationally accepted speakers.

If you want help or advice, don't hesitate to contact the FANS team or email fans@sas.com.

​Fun use of ChatGPT – A SAS poem

A colleague at SAS created a CHATGPT poem with our customers on a recent SAS Day.
Here you go – as a "see you again" in 2024:

SAS coding, the language of data's might,
Unleashing power, insights shining bright.

Transforming numbers, making sense of it all,
SAS coding, helping us stand tall.

Data cleaning, organizing with ease,
SAS coding simplifies complexities.

Analytics and modeling help us excel,
Crunching numbers, telling stories to tell.

With macros and functions, we craft our way,
Efficiently analyzing day by day.

In the realm of data, SAS coding takes flight,
Guiding us through knowledge's wondrous light.
