Countdown to virtual SASGF catch-up!

G’Day friends In previous years, right about now, we’d be flying in from all corners of the globe for SAS Global Forum (SASGF).

Do your very own ‘Check one two’ of your SAS Platform!

Remember the sounds of roadies testing microphones with phrases like ‘Check one two, check, check’?

Or perhaps – being a new […]

Don’t miss these SAS events in September (and the chance to help #SaveTheKoala)

Strength in numbers and keeping in touch ?

A lot has certainly changed since our March newsletter! On a positive note, we’ve seen ‘strength in numbers’ as people have come together to meet collective challenges.
