Hi Community,

While writing an article yesterday, I realized I was so busy with people who came to the Developer Community table at the Tech Exchange that I forgot to take photos for you. Luckily, I realized the error of my ways and corrected my behavior accordingly 😉

So, let's look at what happened on Tuesday at the InterSystems Ready 2025! It began with a speech of Scott Gnau about the approach and architecture of InterSystems Data Platform and how it is different from all other DBMSs:

Afterwards, @Tom Woodfin and Peter Lesperance dove into the details of using the novelties of IRIS in Epic:

Then, @Gokhan Uluderya talked about data in AI and how important it is to have good data to be able to apply GenAI or Vector Search to it:

@Jeff Fried picked up this topic and went into more detail about InterSystems GenAI strategy:

Daniel Franko summed up the tools that are available to developers of IRIS for Health:

After lunch most of the participants went on to the sessions or Tech Exchange. For example, @Raj Singh dropped by our table and we talked about the current Ideas Contest

@Henrique Dias, @Henry Pereira, @Dean Andrews and @Guilherme Silva came up to us as well:

@Lorenzo Scalese, @Dean Andrews , @Derek Gervais 

@Sergei Shutov, @Anastasia Dyubaylo, @Vishal Pallerla 

@Iryna Mykhailova, @Anastasia Dyubaylo, @Bob Kuszewski 

@Henrique Dias, @Benjamin De Boe, @Anastasia Dyubaylo, @Enrico Parisi, @Henry Pereira, @Iryna Mykhailova, @José Pereira 

The "Musketeers" (@Henry Pereira, @Henrique Dias,@José Pereira) with @Anastasia Dyubaylo

@Muhammad Waseem, @Guillaume Rongier, @Anastasia Dyubaylo, @Oliver Wilms

This year to make it more interesting, for our developer guests we prepared a special challenge - a quiz from Global Masters! 

So, here are @Derek Robinson, @Myles Collins and @Patrick Sulin trying to get all 5 answers correctly:

In the next article, you will learn who beat the challenge!

While there was all this excitement at the Developer Community table, there were presentations at the big screen in the Tech Exchange, for example from @Brett Saviano about VS Code:

And presentations on smaller tables, for example, from @Guillaume Rongier:

Outside the Tech Exchange, the startups were making their presentations. For example, SerenityGPT which created our wonderful DC AI Bot and DC AI Chat:

And in the evening we went to the Universal City Walk and were treated to the concert of Integrity Check, which was a blast!

After the concert, we had the pleasure of the company of the guitar player, aka @Randy Pallotta

Afterwards, I went to roam and met up with @Dean Andrews, @Adeline Icard, @Anastasia Dyubaylo, and @Guillaume Rongier:

We finished the day with a rousing game of Table shuffleboard - ladies (@Adeline Icard, @Anastasia Dyubaylo, and me) vs gentlemen (@Guillaume Rongier, @Jeff Fried, @Eduard Lebedyuk). Guess in the comments who won 😁

All in all, we had a wonderful time at the Universal, which was a great end to a great day.
