When I started to pursue sas certification, I browsed the cert verification tool and was able to search for people based on country and other factors. I went to verify someone's status today and I was pushed to Credly which is just so awful to verify that I have to navigate through thousands of people to find this.    https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/resources/certified-professionals-directory.html    What's going on at SAS?

I'm finalizing my details for SAS Innovate. I'm looking forward to coming but I have a few questions.    1. Are all the sessions, outside special sessions, 30 minutes? I notice some of the sessions are 1 hour long (See attached -> 12:30 sessions). This will affect my attendance at the other sessions at 1pm.    2. What will the dress code be for this event? I know most do business casual but I'm making no assumptions.  3. Is there a way we can get some better sessions? These Gov't sessions I think you should nix because the world is in a worse place since covid and I really don't want to hear from these people. Honestly, I wish they would resign. We have higher prices everywhere, these forecasting system simply failed MISERABLY, and we're spending too much (reaching too far). I do want to hear more about the innovation in the SAS product(s) roadmaps...this is really all I want to hear about 🙂  4. Can we get a session on how SAS has used AI / ML to make decisions for their organizations (SAS & JMP) during and after covid?  5. Can you discuss how these roundtables will work on the final day? 1.) Lecture then comments?, 2.) Panel w/ experts conversations? Also, can we submit questions in advance?  6. How did you come up with these roundtable discussions? Personally, I'm only attending these roundtables (Navigating Uncertainty & Twinning to Win).    ... View more
