Why attend?
Please join us for the SAS Analytics Day @DHS. This special event offers a look at various initiatives within DHS, different tools and how it’s utilised within the department, as well as best practices. It’s designed to be informative and to help us drive better long term outcomes and be an evidence based decision making organisation.
Some of the reasons to attend include:
- To raise awareness of SAS within DHS
- To showcase SAS’s capabilities and innovative use of SAS Technology within the department
- To network and exchange ideas amongst DHS colleagues
