Conference FAQ

What is the purpose of the Opening Session?

The Conference Chairs welcome the attendees and announce the major themes and events of their conference at the Opening Session. They also introduce the team of volunteers who help organize and run the conference. The Opening Session's most salient feature, however, is the keynote address that is usually given by a major figure from SAS Institute. The Get Acquainted mixer, which immediately follows the Opening Session, allows attendees a chance to meet with their colleagues and make new and renew old friendships in an informal setting.
