The Call for Presentations is now open!
We want you! SAS software is so rich in function and application that everyone is an expert on something. This year, share your expertise with fellow users at MWSUG 2025.
Below is some of the essential information to guide you as you create your paper, presentation, and/or e-poster. Before submitting a presentation proposal, please review the information below carefully.
If you have any questions about your proposal or the submission process, please contact the Academic Chair, David Corliss, at
Submission Basics
Your proposed presentation will need to include a title of no more than 250 characters and a summary (abstract) of no more than 250 words. You will also be asked to provide the name of each author along with each author's affiliation (company, etc.), email address, and a short biography of no more than 75 words. Biographies should be written in the third person.
To improve the chances of your presentation being selected for the conference, it is strongly recommended that you include an outline, detailed summary, or draft paper or slides. This will give the section chair a better idea of the content, style, and quality of your presentation.
Presentation Options and Sections
There are several ways to present: 50-minute presentations, 20-minute presentations, 10-minute "Quick Tips", and e-posters. There will be several concurrent sections or presentation tracks at the conference. For your proposed presentation, the title, abstract, working draft (if provided), and categories that you select to characterize your presentation will help our reviewers decide which section would be appropriate. If we are in doubt as to the best choice, we will talk to you.

Paper Guidelines
Although papers are not required this year, we encourage you to submit a companion paper with the presentation. The papers will be published as part of the official Conference Proceedings at the MWSUG website. To meet the expectations for publication in the Proceedings, please refer to the MWSUG 2025 Paper Guidelines, Paper Template, and other tools available in our Presenter Resources (coming soon).
