The conference, held this year in Nashville Oct. 10-12, offered attendees a wealth of opportunities to network, learn, and collaborate.
The goal of the Fall Technical Conference is to foster a dialogue that leads to more effective use of statistics in improving quality and driving innovation. JMP has been a consistent supporter of this mission, providing both financial and intellectual contributions. Technical Writing Manager Michael Crotty (@michael_jmp) and Advanced Analytics R&D Senior Manager Ryan Lekivetz (@Ryan_Lekivetz) both served as program chairs for sections of the conference and have played a pivotal role in shaping the event's focus and content.
Through their involvement, JMP has been able to showcase the work of its young researchers, including Research Statistician Developer Irene Ji (@Irene_Ji), Analytics Software Tester Yeng Saanchi (@Yeng_Saanchi), and Research Statistician Software Developer Bill Fisher (@BillFish828), who presented on their Ph.D. research

Beyond its academic contributions, JMP is also leveraging the Fall Technical Conference as a platform to build relationships with potential candidates and other JMP users in the field. According to Lekivetz, "All five of the student award winners have expressed interest in JMP, and I interacted with several attendees who are also scheduled to attend Discovery next week." These attendees include:
- Abby Nachtsheim, Los Alamos National Laboratory.
- Amanda Yoder, Corning.
- Arved Harding, Eastman.
- Ashley Childress, Eastman.
- Jennifer Van Mullekom, Virginia Tech.
- John Szarka, W. L. Gore.
- Jon Stallrich, N.C. State University.

The conference provides a unique opportunity for JMP to engage with a diverse audience and gain valuable insights into the evolving needs and challenges of the statistical community. As JMP continues to be a driving force in the field of data analysis and visualization, its participation in events like the Fall Technical Conference is essential for maintaining its leadership position.
