What is JSM? And how is DMP related?
The Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) is a conference hosted through the coordination of several professional statistics societies. The Diversity Mentoring Program (DMP) is a separate program that is held at the same time and location as JSM, and we do our best to avoid scheduling DMP events at the same time as JSM events. You do not need to participate in JSM in order to participate in DMP.
Specifically,
- You do not need to register for JSM to be part of DMP.
- You do not need to attend any JSM events in order to attend DMP programming.
