About PugSUG
PugSUG was created to help Puget Sound area SAS users learn more about SAS and network with other SAS users. We are a resource for the SAS community all along the Puget Sound, from Bellingham to Olympia. We have meetings every spring and fall and social events every 3-4 months. Any and every SAS user is welcome to attend PugSUG meetings. Come join us! For more information, please email us at questions@pugsug.org.
Keep track of all PugSUG events by regularly checking this website (accessible from pugsug.org) or adding our events to your Google Calendar:
