Each year, InterSystems holds multiple global meetings that bring together our clients, partners, and industry experts in different regions. These meetings present and discuss new development trends and the company vision. These include Global Summits, UK&I Summits, Benelux Summits, etc.
Hi Community:
Just thought I'd let you know about all the HL7®FHIR® content we've planned (and finalized) for Global Summit.
There’s something special this year for anyone new to the standard and for those of you who don’t have technical backgrounds. On Monday afternoon, June 20, we’re hosting a special four-hour workshop led by Russ Leftwich, MD, with Laura Heermann Langford, Ph.D., RN, FAMIA. You’ll learn what FHIR® is, how it works (through a hands-on exercise), and how it is revolutionizing data interoperability and the healthcare data standard of the future.
Hi Community (especially developers in healthcare):

Hi Community:
Delighted to announce that bestselling author and disruptive technology specialist Geoffrey Moore will be a featured speaker at Global Summit on day 2, June 22. Can't wait to hear what he has to say. Here's his bio:
Geoffrey Moore splits his consulting time between start-up companies in the Wildcat Venture Partners portfolios and established high-tech enterprises, most recently including Salesforce, Microsoft, Autodesk, F5Networks, Gainsight, Google, and Splunk.
His life’s work has focused on the market dynamics of disruptive innovations.
This year at Global Summit we will have several members of the InterSystems internal applications team (AppServices) on site to present topics of interest to developers. There will be General Sessions that we teach on a number of topics related to tools we're launching to the OEX, knowledge gained based on migrating our Caché app portfolio to InterSystems IRIS, best practices for following OWASP Top 10 with ObjectScript, and a survey of the application landscape offering services to our customers and prospects.

It's not too late to join the last one live!
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.
IntegratedML Following the announcement of global availability for IntegratedML, this week highlights IntegratedML in multiple sessions.
