CARY, N.C., March 20 — Here’s more proof that big data and analytics are white hot: The world’s premier analytics conference, SAS Global Forum, has achieved record registration this year.

More than 4,500 business, government and education leaders will attend SAS Global Forum, March 23-26 at Gaylord National Resort in Washington, DC. The conference, presented by SAS, the global leader in analytics (per IDC and Forrester), is actually two simultaneous and connected events:

  • A user conference: More than 3,000 attendees from dozens of countries represent hundreds of organizations. They’ll hear from business and technology leaders about how embracing analytics creates value from big data, and see some of the latest technologies to achieve this.
  • An executive conference: SAS Global Forum 2014 Executive Conference convenes more than 1,500 director-level and above attendees to explore leadership, analytics and big data.
