PharmaSUG Speaker Sharing Program

PharmaSUG offers a speaker-sharing program for regional and local SAS users groups meetings on a first-come/first-serve basis. There are limited funds available for this program.

If a group is interested in acquiring a speaker for their meeting, they should submit a list of at least three choices from the best papers from the previous year's PharmaSUG conference. PharmaSUG will work through this list and attempt to secure one of these papers to be presented at your event. The following expenses will be paid by PharmaSUG for the author. It is expected that the requesting group will provide the registration to the event for the speaker.

  • Transportation to the event
  • Lodging - limited to the duraton of the conference which may include 1 day before and/or 1 day after
