    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for joining us for another great CSUG Meeting!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":woman_dancing:"&gt;💃&lt;/span&gt; We had a great time meeting you (again) in-person and exchanging knowledge and experiences.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":nerd_face:"&gt;🤓&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Here was the agenda:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;TABLE class="stack blue" border="1" width="416"&gt;
&lt;TBODY&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD colspan="1" rowspan="1"&gt;8:30am - 9:00am&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD colspan="1" rowspan="1"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Registration and Light Breakfast&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD colspan="1" rowspan="1"&gt;9:00am - 9:15am&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD colspan="1" rowspan="1"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Welcome Remarks and SAS News&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Alice Yuan, SAS Canada&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;/TR&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD colspan="1" rowspan="1"&gt;9:15am - 10:00am&lt;/TD&gt;
&lt;TD colspan="1" rowspan="1"&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Integrating Synthetic Data Generation in Machine Learning Modeling Pipelines&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.sas.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/28236"&gt;@BrettWujek&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; &lt;a href="https://communities.sas.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/17365"&gt;@Sundaresh&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;, SAS US&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Synthetic data generation is increasingly important for augmenting existing data sets, mitigating imbalance in data sets with rare events and enabling data science tasks without having to share sensitive real data. In this presentation, we show how to use SAS® analytical capabilities to efficiently generate high-quality synthetic data. We demonstrate the use of SAS procedures, a REST API in Python, related pre-processing and post-processing steps, as well as assessment metrics.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Note: this was a virtual presentation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/TD&gt;
