7 reasons you should attend SAS Global Forum (via the SAS Nerd, Kirk Lafler)

Kirk Paul Lafler (@KirkLafler, aka "SAS Nerd") shared this on LinkedIn last week. If you're on-the-fence about whether SAS Global Forum is worth your investment, this should nudge you over to the "I'm going!" side.

My personal favorite is Reason #5 -- it's the people and their expertise that make this event unique!

I agree @ChrisHemedinger #5 is my top reason, closely followed by #2.

It would be interesting to do some analysis (and maybe SAS analysis ) on the top reason for folk. Is it possible to set up a poll? I imagine there may be a correlation though with those that have been to a number of SAS Global Forums in the past having a stronger response to #5 to those that haven't.

5 is definitely the reason for me. Seeing people that i've met and become good friends with online, reconnecting with friends who I haven't seen in ages, are all reasons that I love being able to attend.
