#Summit

It's a wrap!    All of the focus sessions have aired now.  Of course, all of our 102 pre-recorded focus sessions are available on-demand now, so you can watch any and all of them, even if you missed the opportunity for live Q&A.

Speaking of live Q&A - we've had 6 live sessions, and these too are available for you to watch.  I wrote about this, and how your questions make us better, in a separate blog article. 

Hey Developers,

We remind you about a great opportunity to make a live conversation with InterSystems Product Managers Team on Live Q&A Sessions at Virtual Summit 2020! 

🗓 TODAY at 12:40 PM EDT at https://intersystems.6connex.com/event/virtual-summit/en-us/contents/43…

And now we've added more options to make it even easier for you to ask questions upfront:

✅ Submit your questions in the comments to this post

✅ Submit your question to our Discord Channel: discord.gg/WqVjtD

✅ Submit your questions to VS2020questions@InterSystems.com

✅ Send your question personally to @Anastasia Dyubaylo or @Evgeny Shvarov in Direct Messages on the community

✅ Submit your question to Q&A Chat on the conference platform during the session 

Note: We will pass all your questions to the PM team, and you'll receive answers during the Live Q&A Sessions.

I've been impressed at the quality of the questions at our live Q&A sessions!  

These sessions were meant as a way for you to ask anything you want (I call this playing "stump the chumps").

They're all recorded and available for review later; here're the links:

• Live Q&A session 1 - 26 Oct 11:40PM EST 
• Live Q&A session 2 - 27 Oct 12:40PM EST 
• Live Q&A session 3 - 27 Oct 11:40PM EST  
• Live Q&A session 4 - 28 Oct 12:40PM EST  
• Live Q&A session 5 - 28 Oct 11:40PM EST 

It's not too late to join the last one live! 

• Live Q&A session 6 - 29 Oct 12:40PM EST 

We've just finished the second day of focus sessions - with a LOT of great content!  With parallel tracks, it's hard to keep up - but one advantage of a virtual conference is that you can watch anything you missed on-demand!

In yesterday's blog (Highlights of Day 1), I covered most of the special announcements such as InterSystems IRIS Adaptive Analytics and the FHIR Accelerator Service, so time to turn to a few broader strategic themes today.

The second week of Virtual Summit 2020 kicked off with the first day of focus sessions. We covered a LOT of great content - 38 sessions across a wide range of subjects. I thought it would be valuable to recap and review some of the bigger announcements and talking points.

Task: Identify your slowest SQL queries and tune them for better performance
Approach: Use InterSystems’ query profiling and analysis tools. Discuss how system configuration can affect performance
 

This session will show you how you identify the weakest link in your application SQL and introduce you to the fine art of tuning those queries. To do this we will take a look at InterSystems query profiling and analysis tools, as well as how system configuration can impact SQL performance.

Problem: Obscurity on how our SQL engine works

Hi Community:

Could Global Summit be only a few days away? We've hit a record for attendance this year, and, if you aren't based in Boston, we're expecting summer-like weather.

I just wanted to let those of you who can't attend (maybe next year) know that you will be able to livestream the morning keynote presentations for all three days of the Global Summit. Listen in as featured speakers from InterSystems and from business, academic, and healthcare organizations share their visions of future technology.

Follow the livestream link and click the Launch button for the appropriate day.  Here's the program:

Hi Everyone,

Are you ready yet? Have you packed all you'll need for the summit? And don't forget the needed power-socket adapters if you come from outside the US! 

Have you signed up for the Container Bootcamp on Sunday? Or one of the various Experience Labs, the many informative sessions and one of the symposia on Wednesday afternoon?

Again, there is a mobile app for attendees that should help you keep it all under control and even allow you to book time with InterSystems personnel for a one-on-one deep-dive on whatever you need.
