Hello Statistical Consulting Section Members,
I'm writing to share a few announcements and reminders regarding upcoming submission periods for JSM 2026, which will be in Boston, MA, from August 1-6, 2026. The JSM theme is "Communities in Action: Advancing Society", which I think aligns wonderfully with our section!
The submission window for Topic-Contributed Sessions will be open from November 13 to December 10, 2025 at 11:59 pm ET. These sessions can be either paper sessions (five participants, at least three presenters and up to two discussants) or panel discussions (three to six panelists).
While still a month away, the submission window for Contributed Sessions via individual abstracts will open on December 2, 2025, and close on February 2, 2026. This is a wonderful opportunity to submit papers or posters you may wish to present at JSM 2026. For abstracts not part of an invited or topic-contributed session, the JSM Program Committee will work to connect abstracts submissions into contributed sessions with common themes.
Feel free to reach out to me at Sarah.Schmiege@cuanschutz.edu if you have questions regarding your topic-contributed submission or your future contributed session abstract submissions.
Thanks!
Sarah
