How to Get the Most Out of Your First Joint Statistical Meetings

摘要

The largest congregation of statisticians in the world happens every August during the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM). More than 5,000 people attend these meetings, which are sponsored by seven statistical societies, including the American Statistical Association. The meetings offer a variety of activities such as attending research presentations, interviewing for jobs, taking Continuing Education courses, and browsing the exhibition hall. With so many opportunities, new attendees can be easily overwhelmed by their first JSM experience.
