Register today for the world's largest analytics conference; explore AI, big data analytics, IoT and more

CARY, N.C., March 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- At altitude, a golf ball flies longer because thinner air exerts less drag on it. If you need an extra couple yards on your golf shots, teeing up at a course in Denver might do the trick.

You can also boost your career and your business by attending SAS Global Forum 2018 in the Mile High City. SAS Global Forum is the world's largest analytics conference, with more than 30,000 business and IT users of SAS software participating on-site and online. This year's conference takes place April 8-11 at Denver's Colorado Convention Center. It will explore the latest trends in analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, data management, the Internet of Things (IoT), fighting fraud, managing risk and more.

Like the golf ball traveling 10 percent farther in Denver's rarified air, you can extend your analytics knowledge by registering today for SAS Global Forum 2018.
