Ready for the ‘razzle dazzle’ of SAS Global Forum?

[MichelleHomes]

Metacoda is excited to again be sponsoring the SAS Global Forum (#SASGF), being held in Las Vegas in April. Sponsoring last year’s “Dallas BIG” SAS Global Forum was a fun and rewarding experience for us; the theme was “The Journey is Yours” and 2015 certainly proved to be an exciting journey for Metacoda, expanding around the world. With this year’s theme of “Imagine. Create. Innovate” we’re looking forward to a 2016 full of fresh ideas, security partnerships and opportunities…

We suggest the following 5 ways to make the most out of your Vegas trip:

• Plan and expand
• Drop by and say “G’day”
• Connect!
• Join us for the #SASGF #TweetUp!
• Squeeze in some sight-seeing

Razzle over to the Metacoda blog post for details.

What are you planning to make the most out of your SAS Global Forum 2016 adventure? Please share in the comments below.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for us online, or if you’re coming to Vegas, look out for us amongst the razzle dazzle of #SASGF.

I'm ready for another Metacoda Koala to keep the one on my computer company! 

[MichelleHomes]

Absolutely @louisehadden... The Metacoda koalas love company!

AND the registration numbers for this year's conference are running ahead of last year's.  This could be the biggest SAS Global Forum ever.  Speaking or razzle dazzle will Jenn be wearing a showgirl outfit for the whole conference? for the opening?

Well @ArtC, people will just have to attend to see. I am not confirming or denying at this point in time what I will be wearing.

Perhaps all the conference chairs (current, former, future) should get on stage during the opening and do a little chorus line. There’s a few of you I’d love to see do a little Rockettes-like kicking…

[jwaller]

@PeteLund only if you get up there too.

[MichelleHomes]

Thanks for sharing @ArtC about the registration numbers. How many attendees have registered so far?

Regarding the razzle dazzle, I think opening it up to everyone... Come along to the #SASGF #TweetUp and dazzle us in costume!  Click on the link to check out some of the #RockAFedora folk and please tweet your pics.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but current projections have the increase at about 10%.

For those data driven folks (should be pretty much all of us), here's an historical perspective on SAS Global Forum registration numbers, http://support.sas.com/events/sasglobalforum/previous/index.html

Drew that attendance up as a line chart.

[MichelleHomes]

Nice work @ptimusk! Interesting trend.

Based on the "historical perspective"
and Art Carpenter's hint of 10% increase, 
we might seee over 5,000 passing through the doors!
