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.
More plenary highlights
Beyond the volcanoes, we’re hosting sessions that speak to the heart of why our customers choose JMP.
JMP from the Ground Up (March 11): An opportunity to hear from JMP’s own Founder and Chair John Sall, R&D Director Julian Parris, and User Enablement Director Jeff Perkinson. They’ll take us on a journey through the foundational philosophy of JMP, showing how time-tested features continue to solve the most modern engineering and scientific challenges.

Analytic Advocates (March 12): Perfect for prospects and managers! This session explores how to transform a company’s analytics culture. A panel of industry voices will discuss how individuals at every level can lead the charge for statistical enablement.
Why you should invite your contacts
Discovery Summit is the ultimate "lightbulb moment" for customers. When they see Dr. Mitchell's work or hear John Sall's vision, they don't just see a software tool; they see a path to solving their own toughest problems.
How you can help:
- Personalize your outreach: Mention Dr. Mitchell’s talk to your clients in the environmental or manufacturing sectors.
- Highlight networking: Remind them that Sorrento is the place to meet the JMP R&D team in person.
- Act fast: Time is running out. Help your prospects secure their spots today.
Let’s make this the most well-attended Discovery Summit yet!
And please help us get the word out about the fantastic Education and R&D workshops at JMP Discovery Summit, happening on Tuesday, March 10! There are wonderful Discovery Europe social tiles you can use to promote Discovery Summit, including tiles for the workshops (scroll down to find them on that page). Are your customers looking for an opportunity to learn more about the Profiler? Invite them to join one of the two education sessions by Di Michelson on this amazing JMP feature, for exploration and visualization, or for optimizing and simulating. Or do you have customers who need to see Russ Wolfinger show the cutting edge of Machine Learning with JMP? Or do they need to join Chris Gotwalt to explore Bayesian Optimization? Or do they need to join Annie Dudley and Praveena Panineerkandy for a look at control charts and using JMP Live to triage? There are GREAT opportunities -- please spread the word and invite your customers!
