InterSystems is proud to offer free InterSystems Certification exam attempts to all attendees of InterSystems Virtual Summit 2020. The one free exam attempt will be made available to all registered attendees and can be used at any time until December 31, 2020.

This is our standard online exam service with online proctoring that is normally priced at $150 per attempt. 

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. 

Smart Factory Starter Pack   One highlight that got a lot of attention today was the release of the InterSystems IRIS Smart Factory Starter Pack on OpenExchange.

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 5 - 28 Oct 11:40PM EST 

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.

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.

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.

Hi Community,

There are a couple of new activities planned for this year's Global Summit that you won't want to miss:

1. Meet the Experts in the Tech Exchange
Schedule one-on-one meetings with implementation team members or developers of a product feature in our Tech Exchange area.  LEARN MORE 

2. Not Your Random Table
During our Monday and Tuesday lunches, you'll get to interact directly with InterSystems product managers, who are moderating conversations about such topics as master-data management, the HL7® FHIR® standard, and server-side languages.

Hi Community:

Interested in getting hands-on with our technology? Come to Global Summit, where you'll find five experiences to choose from in the Experience Lab:

• The Machine Learning Toolkit on OpenExchange
• The Next Evolution of APIs
• Working with the FHIR Resource Repository
• Using AI Services to Build Intelligent Apps
• Containerizing Apps with InterSystems IRIS

If you've never tried these out, Experiences are guided exercises in which you engage with our technology. Each Experience starts with a brief introduction outlining a particular task. Then you complete the task on your own laptop.
