FEATURE STORY
xkcd webcomic creator Randall Munroe to headline
Discovery Summit
You’ll be amazed what you learn when you surround yourself with sharp data analysts like those found at Discovery Summit. Scheduled for Sept. 19-23 at SAS world headquarters, the conference will feature xkcd webcomic creator Randall Munroe as the closing keynote.
Munroe is masterful at using math, science and comics to explain complex ideas. In his latest book, Thing Explainer, he uses the 1,000 (or, rather, ten hundred) most common words in the English language to explain concepts like how smartphones work, the periodic table and nuclear reactors.
You’ll also hear from SAS co-founder John Sall on triskaidekaphilia and the release of JMP® 13, DOE expert Chris Nachtsheim, and retired R&D director from Procter & Gamble Tom Lange.
