The conductance G of a quantum dot with single-mode ballistic point contacts depends sensitively on external parameters X, such as gate voltage and magnetic field. We calculate the joint distribution of G and dG/dX by relating it to the distribution of the Wigner-Smith time-delay matrix of a chaotic system. The distribution of dG/dX has a singularity at zero and algebraic tails. While G and dG/dX are correlated, the ratio of dG/dX and $\sqrt{G(1-G)}$ is independent of G. Coulomb interactions change the distribution of dG/dX, by inducing a transition from the grand-canonical to the canonical ensemble. All these predictions can be tested in semiconductor microstructures or microwave cavities.
