Attendee-driven "Unsessions"
According to Wikipedia, an unconference is a participant-driven meeting designed to encourage attendee involvement in topic selection and knowledge sharing. Join us for these lightly structured discussions to share your ideas and learn more about JSL scripting or predictive modeling. If you’ve got suggestions for topics you’d like to see discussed, or that you’d like to share, contribute your ideas using the buttons below.

Yoga: East Coast Midday Stretch or Sunrise in the West
What’s the best way to prepare your mind and body for being open to a week of learning and growing? That would be yoga! Whether you’re already warmed up or just getting started for the day, you’ll want to join us for this JMP-led yoga session.

In the Flow
We talk about being “in the flow” when we’re analyzing data without interruption, when we’re writing the coolest code, or just really, really focused on a task. This is your chance to get in the Discovery Summit flow with hosts Jeff Perkinson and Jessica Marquardt. This is how you’ll be in the know about papers, posters, plenaries and all of the interactive goodness that comes with an online Discovery Summit.
12:45 - 1:45 p.m. ET
Plenary Session – Anabolic, Aphrodisiac or Analgesic?
John Sall, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President, SAS
As we develop analytical tools in JMP, we inevitably must make decisions about how to prioritize:
- Should we make the product more powerful by adding more muscle?
- Should we make it sexier, more exciting?
- Should we focus on pain relief, making it less frustrating, less burdensome?
In the language of long A-words, should we go for anabolic, aphrodisiac or analgesic? John Sall thinks the answer is analgesic. Pain relief should be the central motivating force for development.
Of course, the three aren’t mutually exclusive. Adding an exciting power feature could also relieve pain. But pain relief is central, because pain is the condition that can really freeze us, demotivate us, make us stop at a less-than-full perspective of what our data can tell us.
1:50 - 4:45 p.m. ET

Social: Industry & Academic Connections
We all start somewhere, and for many of us it was in a university studying to become a scientist, engineer or other type of data explorer. This is a unique opportunity for those of us who have made it in industry to share our journeys with students who will follow in our footsteps, and with professors who offer guidance to those students. All are welcome to join in the conversations and make connections.

Moderator: Julian Parris, JMP Strategic Initiatives and Analytics, SAS
While journalists have long made use of data in breaking news stories and investigative reporting, media outlets are increasingly using data visualization as a tool to convey information to the public. Compelling graphics not only make the fact-finding aspects of journalism more transparent, they are also an essential part of the investigative process. Data journalists in particular rely heavily on exploratory data analysis. Three successful journalists share the stories behind some of their most significant work.

Plenary Session – Fireside Chat with Shankar Vedantam

Moderator: Jeff Perkinson, JMP Customer Care Manager, SAS
Discovery Summits aren’t just about visualizing data and talking statistics. Our Summits are also about exploring ideas, making connections and inspiring innovation. They’re about curiosity and engagement. Which is why we’ve asked the host of “Hidden Brain” podcast, Shankar Vedantam, to close the conference with a conversation about how we understand numbers, how we make decisions and how we persuade – and are persuaded by – others. Vedantam will tell real-world stories, share his research and answer your questions.

Close the Flow
All good things must come to an end. Lucky for you, your adventures in data exploration can continue long after this conference closes. Join us for a quick wrap-up as we announce the most popular papers and posters, and let you know where to find lots of follow-up resources.
