Check out Money’s recent article about “The 21 Most Valuable Career Skills Now“. At the top of the list is SAS software. The Western Users of SAS Software 2016 Educational Forum and Conference, Sept. 7-9 in San Francisco, offers excellent opportunities to gain and sharpen SAS skills. Don’t miss it!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a ticket to the Stanford WIDS conference on Nov.2. However, I watched as much of the streamed event as I could. Lots of good presentations. One I especially enjoyed was “Cyber Security Research: A Data Scientist’s Perspective” by Celeste Matarazzo, a data science expert with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. See also her powerpoint “Architecture of Secure Systems Research Considerations“.
Looking forward to WordCamp Sacramento 2015! Great speakers and topics! Tickets sold out in less than 3 hours. Fortunately, all of WordCamp will be video recorded and will be available on WordPress.tv in the future.
Terrific inaugural meetup for Women in Data Science in late September. Hock Farm Craft & Provisions was a great setting. Looking forward to future events!
Congratulations to Brian Bahmanyar, Best Contributed Paper Winner at WUSS2015 in the Data Management/Data Science category for his paper “Leveraging APIs in SAS to Create Interactive Visualizations“!

Part of the fun of SGF is getting to hang with old and new friends. Great to spend time with Susan Slaughter, Rebecca Ottesen, and Lora Delwiche. They have a companion book of exercises to The Little SAS Book coming out soon.
Awesome to have the opportunity to talk about SAS certification for career development with Susan Slaughter.
