Editors Note: May's edition will be the last SAS Bowl until the fall (August). Have happy vacations.

We've decided to consolidate SAS Bowl LXI with SAS's 50th birthday and a SAS Innovate recap. 

For 50 years, SAS has proven that when companies invest in people, prioritize customers and innovate with purpose, trust follows. This philosophy has guided SAS from its origins in academic research to its role as a global leader in data and AI. 

SAS recently hosted its signature conference, SAS Innovate, in Grapevine, Texas late last month. Conference attendees spent three days learning about how SAS is incorporating AI into its software. They enjoyed main stage sessions, over 200 presentation sessions, conversations with subject matter experts in the Innovation Hub, and were introduced to new SAS products.
