The countdown is on. In about a month, the brightest minds in data science will convene in beautiful Sorrento, Italy, for Discovery Summit Europe, March 10-12.
While the location is a major draw, the real magic happens on the main stage. We have a world-class lineup of plenary speakers designed to inspire our customers and prospects to push the boundaries of what’s possible with JMP.
The headliner: Big data meets big geohazards
On March 12, we welcome Dr. Samuel J. Mitchell, a volcanologist and polar expedition guide who deals with data on a literal "life or death" scale.
In a world where hundreds of millions live under the threat of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, Dr. Mitchell will explore the explosion of data from seafloor sensors and satellite imagery. His session, Big Geohazards, Big Data, tackles a challenge every JMP user faces: When you have a mountain of data, how do you prioritize what to analyze?
This is a must-attend for anyone working with complex models or large-scale instrumentation.

Beyond the volcanoes, we’re hosting sessions that speak to the heart of why our customers choose JMP.
