All you need is a high speed internet connection, ability to download a small Java application to your computer's hard drive, and authorization to make a long distance telephone call to hear the audio portion of the presentation." Attendees are responsible for the cost of the inbound telephone call. The rate is whatever you pay your long distance provider for service. VirtualSUG does NOT charge an "extra fee" for you to make this call.
VirtualSUG is a new and evolving source of information for SAS users. Please check back often for important updates, presentation schedules and other information.

We have made important changes to VirtualSUG that increase the number of people who can attend each session and also streamline the registration and sign-in processes. These changes include:
- You may now sign up for and attend multiple sessions per day.
- Streamlined registration and sign-in procedures.
- Automatic confirmation of registration sent via email immediately after you complete your enrollment.
- Session reminder sent by email one hour before session start time.
- Easier sign-in at event start time.
- Up to 1,000 attendees are permitted at each session, essentially guaranteeing opportunities for everyone to sign up for the sessions they want to attend.
- Voice transmission via telephone rather than VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), which was problematic for many attendees with our previous meeting service. Instead, you will need to call an in-bound toll telephone number, which is shown in the registration confirmation, to hear the voice portion of the presentation. Attendees are responsible for the cost of the inbound toll call.
