Presenter checklist

Congratulations on being selected to present at Discovery Summit! The following information will help you prepare, format and submit your paper or poster for presentation during the special In-Person segment of Discovery Summit Europe. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Sanger.

Recording Your Presentation

All paper and poster presentations will be pre-recorded via Zoom and published in advance of Discovery Summit to allow attendees to watch at their convenience.

  • Sign and return the Recording Consent and Release Form (Presenter Signature).
    • This form is signed by each individual presenter. It gives JMP permission to record you personally during your Discovery Summit session.
  • Sign and return the External Publication Consent Form (Company Authorized Representative Signature) by 2 March.
    • This form is signed by an authorized representative from your organization. It confirms that your company agrees to allow JMP to display or use its name, or related content, publicly.
  • Both signed forms can be emailed to Chris Sanger.

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."
