Why not take training instead?

The great thing about attending Discovery Summit is that I will get to learn firsthand from JMP users who have had great success using JMP to overcome business challenges. Breakout sessions, led by experienced JMP users, include demonstrations of best practices, and many of them are based on real-life case studies — we’re talking about using real data to solve real problems. Training classes are available, too. Pre-conference training is offered on Monday and Tuesday the week of the event at a 15 percent discount.

You’ve just started using JMP; won’t this be above your level?

Past participants who were new to JMP say that the conference was exciting and exposed them to new ideas. I can select the breakout sessions geared to my experience level and interests.

You’ve been using JMP for years; shouldn’t you know all the answers by now?

I’m always looking for techniques that enable me to implement strategy more efficiently. Discovery Summit offers best practices for advanced users who want to make the most of JMP. And it would be great to build my network of analysts for bouncing ideas back and forth.
