SAS Explore Galore!

Here in the Southern Hemisphere, welcoming September also means welcoming Spring; a time of flourishing change and new birth. Change is certainly something that we’ve seen plenty of in recent years, with COVID-19 altering (and in some cases completely transforming) the way we live, work, and interact with our communities. Over the years, Metacoda has […]

Finding creative ways to connect is part of what makes our global SAS community so vibrant and strong.

#HackInSAS, a symbiotic experience

When I was invited to be a #HackInSAS 2021 juror, I didn’t hesitate for a moment. For me the SAS hackathon community – of hackers, mentors, sponsors, partners, judges and organizers – creates a wonderfully symbiotic experience that I’m always eager to dive into. Uniting great minds across the globe in a sprint-like race of […]

Getting ‘all the feels’ from our SAS Community

It’s 7am and I’m buzzing with glee! Why? Well, I’ve just spent an hour enjoying trivia, chat, and cheer with fellow SAS enthusiasts from around the world. SAS Bowl IX started at 6am in Brisbane (4pm ET) and – despite a few false starts due to technical glitches – quickly provided my monthly dose of […]
