I see a lot of breakout sessions on the agenda. How do I choose which to attend?

The conference agenda includes eight breakout sessions with four concurrent talks. The abstracts are available online, in your conference program, and in the mobile app, and they are categorized by topic and level of difficulty. This will help you narrow it down, but you’ll still have some hard choices to make.

Will there be food?

Yes! A continental breakfast is available on Wednesday and Thursday mornings for conference attendees. Lunch is provided each day, as well. We offer two opportunities for dinner and networking, a dinner adventure on Wednesday and Cocktails, Canapés & Conversation at the hotel on Thursday. Please be sure to select the dinner events you'd like to attend during the online registration process.

Dietary restrictions? Please be sure to contact Carla Paquet, and let your server know who you are at each meal. We want to make your week as comfortable as possible.

Is there a dress code?

Business casual.

How do I get conference materials?

Take some time to review the presentation materials we’ve gathered in the JMP User Community. You’ll find papers, slides, posters and, in some cases, videos of the talks. We hope you’ll use these valuable resources to continue learning after the conference, and share them with colleagues who couldn’t attend.
