MWSUG 2012 Junior Professional Program


The MidWest SAS Users Group (MWSUG) exists to serve users of SAS software in the Midwestern region by providing educational opportunities and resources and by facilitating communication among SAS users and SAS Institute, Inc. To further these goals and encourage the new SAS users to attend the conference, MWSUG will pay conference registration fees for up to 15 professionals to attend the MWSUG 2012 conference. MWSUG will be held September 16-18 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In addition, for junior professionals who submit abstracts and are accepted to present in the conference, MWSUG will provide a grant to reimburse up to 2 nights of hotel.
