PhilaSUG (Philadelphia Area SAS Users Group) is a non-profit local volunteer users group professional organization. We are an independent, all-volunteer, non-profit organization of individuals who come together to share knowledge, exchange ideas, promote best practices, and sharpen our skills. Our primary purpose is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, increased knowledge of SAS® software, and professional advancement. PhilaSUG is registered as an official SAS users group, but operates totally indepent from SAS. As an official SAS users group we can take advantage of the support and resources offered by SAS. SAS offers a variety of support services to promote our local users group, which includes: SAS will provide speakers annually to speak at our meetings, complimentary book giveaways, a variety of SAS logo items for giveaways at the meeting, and a SAS sent email announcement ("blast") to promote one of our meetings once a year. In addition, speakers from our own area contribute their expertise, so PhilaSUG meetings always offer a stimulating mix of ideas.

PhilaSUG usually holds three meetings annually (see the calendar of events ) and provides an e-published newsletter.

PhilaSUG-L is a very low volume Internet mail announcement list devoted to interests of our PhilaSUG members. This is an opt-in service. To receive automatic e-mail notification of upcoming meetings subscribe to our electronic meeting mailing-list or in other words if you would like to receive e-mail meeting announcements send an e-mail to PhilaSUG-L+subscribe@groups.io.
