The Design Division at SAS is an umbrella organization responsible for supporting hundreds of offerings and thousands of users around the world. In this presentation, Ron will talk about the organization structure, their focus on accessibility innovations, how they’ve been impacted by the explosion of devices, how he feels they need to change to adapt to the future, and about how they are reaching out to collaborate with the academic community.

He’s currently responsible for the Design Division, which includes user experience designers, visual designers, and accessibility analysts who impact the majority of SAS software offerings.

As always with our meetups, this is not a "sit back and listen" meeting, but a chance for us to bring together a cross disciplinary group of people to think about the relationship between UX and analytics. Mostly though, we'll get to know one another, and have some fun.
