Hello Community!

I continue my Global Summit journal and would like to welcome you to the second day.

The keynotes of this day were dedicated to IRIS Data Platform (yay!).

Scott Gnau started the presentation by explaining why IRIS is called IRIS. I didn't know this!

After the keynotes (and a lunch) everyone went their separate ways to find the sessions, workshops and events they registered for.

Tech Exchange, where the Developer Community booth is, was as usual full at this time. 

Someone was talking about containers and it gathered quite a crowd!

During the day, moderators droppe

Hello guys!

I'm reasonably sure that a lot of you would've liked to be present at the Global Summit 2023 but for one reason or another, you couldn't be present. Here is a brief recount of what went on on 4th and 5th of June.

Join the latest InterSystems Developer Meetup to learn how to analyze healthcare data.

FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a global data standard in healthcare and it's great for interoperability but not great for analysis of that data.💡 Learn from InterSystems product managers and engineers how make SQL projections of FHIR data and build out Python Panda applications leveraging those projections.
