Windy City SAS® Users Group

a Chicago Area SAS® Users Group

About

WCSUG is the premiere SAS® Users Group for the Greater Chicagoland Area. Our group caters to SAS® users of all types, and experience levels, from working professionals, to students. We are an all-volunteer organization, run by a leadership team, and set of officers, that possess a unique set of technical and industry experience.

Through our meetings, our members can network with SAS® users, and access SAS® resources, including career opportunities, training opportunities, and learn about SAS® products. To promote the exchange of technical ideas, our meetings feature technical presentations on relevant SAS® topics.

We hold meetings in several different formats, and time periods. Our events include webinars and in person networking.

We encourage you to explore our meeting formats, and attend our meetings.

We also work lead the other groups around the Chicago area. The Schaumburg Group, Northern Illinois (Lake Cook Rd).
