One of my favorite parts about SAS GF is all of the opportunities to network with colleagues, SAS staff, partners and more. Here are some tips for making those important connections while at the conference.
You know it’s all about the app….the mobile app, that is!
The conference mobile app is key to your ability to connect with others.
Make your app profile public: Go to your profile. Change Privacy Settings to Public. This will allow you to appear to the other conference attendees on the Attendee Networking list in the app.
In-app messaging: Find someone in the attendee list and tap on their name. Tap the message icon. Write your message, then tap send.
Set up a meeting: You can also set up meetings with the public attendees in their profile. Don't worry, you will have to accept any invitations you get. Find those in your My Agenda icon.
Activity Feed: This icon is your friend to make friends. You can use this throughout the conference to share your experiences and make connections. Want to meet up with like-minded folks? Post it there.
Networking Opps:
Sunday in The Quad from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Monday Networking Reception in The Quad from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.

Look for lunchtime chats on Monday and Tuesday; sit with like minded folks for discussions over lunch.
Make connections at breaks, in The Quad and in the sessions. Opportunities abound!
Stay connected after the conference via these communities, users group events, social channels and more.
