Uploading Your Presentation Materials

You will be provided with a location within the JMP User Community to upload your presentation materials.

More specific guidelines for paper and poster presenters are listed below:

  • You may submit your presentation file in any format (for example, PDF, JMP journal or PowerPoint).
  • If you choose PowerPoint, we recommend that you use your organization's own PowerPoint template. Alternatively, you are welcome to use this Discovery Summit template.
  • Include a title slide in your slide deck.
  • You are welcome to submit a paper corresponding to your presentation. Past experience has shown that this provides the highest value for attendees.
  • "JMP" is pronounced "jump", not "J-M-P." And "SAS" is pronounced "sass," as in "sas-sy," not "S-A-S."
