Big surprises and even greater ideas from the late show (afternoon)
Energy was high as Sas Innovate brought to life a major stage session of the late show style Late show (afternoon)where the main technology official Bryan Harris joined and others The fresh prince of the bel-air Duo Alfonso Ribeiro and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
DJ Jazzy Jeff decided to tone with hits returned before Ribeiro welcomed Sas for the innovation of the newcomers and began the great surprises. Among them was American idol Auditioner William dependent on the third season, which shared his excitement to learn more about SAS. Of course, he could not resist a nostalgic moment, singing a little It bangs, The song that made it a viral sensation for the crowd.

Energy does not stop here. Jenn Chase, main marketing official, shared excitement for her upcoming conversation with Brené Brown on the main scene, naming Dare you lead as her favorite brown books. Meanwhile, sales chief Riad Gydien reflected in the significant impact that SAS clients are making across the globe, from stopping fraud to life’s life, throughout the data power and he.
Chase and Gydien ended up encouraging attendees to explore the innovation center, where they can see, touch and engage with SAS software in action. A attraction to be seen? Magic experiences, where visitors could accumulate against an Orlando Magic NBA player.
It’s the time of the show
As Countdown hit zero, Ribeiro placed the scene for an electrifying near the first day, promising an hour filled with fun with his sudden knowledge and discussions. He prompted the evening agenda before giving a special shout to DJ Jazzy Jeff. The hip-hop legend, Grammy’s winner, Fresh Prince Alum-Ribeiro did not hold back, calling it “the biggest DJ to ever live”.
Ribeiro teased a whole new play show that was staging that afternoon, marking his first presentation of the technology conference with a little friendly competition. Then, by moving the gears, he treated the world constantly developing him, with the attention of great titles, the latest trends and even some unexpected innovations, such as the figures of him, including one of the co -founders of Sas Dr. Jim Goodnight.
Now this is a story everything for him
Ribeiro welcomed Harris on stage, ready to explore the future of him. He opened with a knot for one of the most memorable moments of last year – his appearance on the SAS innovation scene for Hot ones with Sean Evans. Harris said he was one of the greatest experiences of his career, but Wing Two was where he began to question his decision to attend.
With SAS approaching its 50th anniversary, Harris stressed that the company worked on it as most people even knew what it was, naming the experience as a secret weapon. As the trends come and go, Sas knows how to see through hype and guide customers towards real results. When organizations fight with him, it is often due to poor data management and quality. As Chase said, “garage outside, scaled waste”. It relies on clean, well -represented data.
When asked about the future of him, Harris answered with an even greater question: What is the future of society? As the automation increased, people should redefine the way they add value and spend less time collecting data and more time by analyzing them. This change can lead to discoveries that we cannot even begin to imagine. As CEO Jim Goodnight said, “We are a company of people helping other people.” People need to feel in control because, at the end of the day, you can’t write a quick to create events like Sas Inovate. Stories, penetrations and innovation come from humans and nothing can replace human judgment.
“He should always be in the purpose of people. You have to make sure people feel in control, and when they are in control, people are using it for their benefit to create new results.” Bryan Harris
Harris completed his session with a Q&A of fast fire. His first computer was a commodore 64 and his favorite 90s show is Simpsons, a bold choice when sitting on stage with two members of Fresh prince jumping his favorite games of all time are Punishment AND UnrealisticAnd when it comes to music, he would spend a week listening to John Mayer (Excuse me T-swift fans) Panama By Van Halen as his Karox song. He also admitted that the photos created by him were strange, and named Outlook as his most used app, which I am sure of many of us can be linked.
Wait … how would you do it?
Vinny Deponto, mind reader and mentalist, amazed the audience with an interactive performance. He began things with the idea that control of the mind begins young (think of ice cream trucks) before demonstrating his ability to plant ideas in a non -doubtful mind. In one experiment, an audience member set up a balloon to discover a scenario that envisioned her answers to a series of key questions.
Answers? Strawberry ice cream and Bill Clinton. Then Depponto Ribero, DJ Jazzy Jeff and a member of the audience for each to choose random four -digit numbers, just to add them to 57,552, the exact date and time, May 7 at 5:52 in the afternoon. Coincidence or evidence of talent? Deponto took his abilities at the innovation center for more afternoon thought.
Are you smarter than a SAS expert?
Ribeiro brought the energy of the game to the stage with that Q, a battle of the knowledge of the one in which the contestants joined SAS experts to imply in the categories associated with him. First, William Collis, the head of the game, instructed his partner in the category, coming out with short hands. Meanwhile, Brandi Davis, senior manager of Inside Sales and Development Business, worked her magic with her race. She dominated the competition in a landslide win, providing her partner a trip to Sas Inovate 2026.
Yo holmes, smell later!
Like this, the late (afternoon) show was a wrapper. DJ Jazzy Jeff and Ribeiro recalled their fresh prince days and discussed how he is shaking the music and entertainment industry. The duo emphasized the potential of him as a powerful means of production, not a replacement for human talent.
But the night was not over yet. Participants were encouraged to prepare for Sas Inovata after hours, the latest VIP experience at Universal Studios, completed with exclusive access to New York roads.
With Hostin Dominique Moon and VP to apply and model Udo Sglavo leading the road, this will not be just another technology network event. After days filled with jams full of knowledge and entertainment, which way better to close it than with a holiday?
