Keeping Posit Environments Reliable in Production: Free Jumping Rivers Webinar

Author: Gigi Kenneth

Published: February 11, 2026

Teams often treat software updates as something to postpone until absolutely necessary. But with analytics platforms, falling behind can introduce avoidable risk, compatibility issues, and missed improvements.

On 19 February, Jumping Rivers is hosting a webinar focused on a simple question: why should teams keep their Posit software up to date?

The session will be led by Sebastian Mellor, Head of Engineering at Jumping Rivers, who supports organisations running Posit tools in production environments.

You can register for the webinar using this form.

What You’ll Learn

This session will highlight concrete examples pulled directly from recent Posit release notes.

Sebastian will walk through:

  • What changed and why it matters
  • How updates affect reliability, security, and performance
  • The risks of delaying upgrades

The goal is to give teams a clearer picture of what they gain by staying current and what can happen when updates are ignored.

Why This Matters

Keeping Posit software updated is not just about new features. It supports:

  • Stability across environments
  • Compatibility with evolving tooling
  • Security improvements
  • Better performance for data science teams

Even small version gaps can compound over time, making upgrades harder and increasing operational friction.

Continued Learning Benefits

Jumping Rivers encourages teams to stay engaged with the wider webinar series:

  • Attend two webinars and receive 20% off tickets to the AI in Production 2026 conference
  • Attend more than two webinars and receive 20% off any Jumping Rivers public training course

Event Details

  • Date: 19 February 2026
  • Time: 1:15 PM (UK time)
  • Venue: Online
