Conference Guidelines

Recruiting
 No direct recruiting may be conducted at the conference. A Position Referral Notebook will be available in the Registration Area. This notebook may be used at the conference by companies to list positions available and by individuals to list their resumes. Information on positions and resumes is not accepted prior to the conference.

Attendance and Registration
 All users and prospective users of SAS products are invited to attend the Western Users of SAS Software, Inc. (WUSS) Regional Conference. All WUSS attendees, including vendors, conference planners, presenter, guests, and SAS staff, must properly register for the conference.

Handouts and Other Displays
Sales literature or product descriptions of a sales nature may not be displayed on bulletin boards or tables or made publicly available at the conference except by invited exhibitors in the designated Demo Area. The Conference Chairs are responsible for administering this policy on behalf of the WUSS Executive Committee (EC). Questions regarding this rule as it applies to a publication can be addressed to a Conference Chair, who makes the final decision on this issue. Only exhibitors that have been invited by the EC or a Conference Chair may have displays and handouts in the Demo Area that were approved before the conference by a Conference Chair.

Invited Papers
Section Chairs are responsible for inviting a limited number of speakers to participate in their sections. Those invited include speakers from SAS. The registration fee for up to two invited speakers per presentation is waived by the EC.

Papers and Speaker Handouts
 An abstract of each presentation, except online Demonstrations, must be submitted and approved by the Program Chair. When a presentation is approved, guidelines for submitting a written version of the paper for the Proceedings are mailed by the Section Chair to the contact author. The author is required to e-mail electronic copies of their final paper in PDF form to the Program Chair and to the Editor of the Proceedings by the deadline given. Papers not received by this deadline are not normally included in the Proceedings. The written paper, the presentation, and any handouts may not include price lists, support commitments, promotional data, or other descriptions of a sales nature, but may include the author’s name and address for additional information.
