Hands on Workshops
Bring Your Own Device
Hands on Workshops this year will be set up such that attendees should bring their own device!
Attendees do not need to have SAS licenses on their own computers. However, if attendees decide they want to use their own computers and SAS licenses during the presentations, class materials will be available on USB drive.
Please be sure that your laptop secutiry allows you to download materials and/or accept files from a USB drive.
SAS On Demand for Academics
Some tutorials and workshops will be using SAS On Demand for Academics. You can learn more about SAS On Demand for Academics (a free, cloud version of SAS software open to anyone wanting to learn) by visiting their

No laptop? No problem!
Attendees are welcome to attend HOW sessions and watch as the instructor works through the exercises on the screen.

Examples, code, and documentation will be available to you regardless of your ability to access them onsite at the conference!
