Iris webinar - July 2025

The next Iris webinar will be held on 9th July 2025. The webinar will take place as a web conference via MS Teams.

We would like to continue the webinars in the future, but we also need to emphasize that the success depends on the contributions of the participants, the interactive discussions and sharing of best practices during the webinar. If you would like to give a presentation or if you would like to discuss a specific item, please let us know.

For this webinar we would like to ask some questions. You can send us your feedback in advance or answer these questions at the webinar.

  • Are you using the image or pdf viewer in Iris right now?
  • Which file format are you using?
  • Do you use it as described in the Iris Manual or in another way?
  • Where do you store your images or pdf files (drive, server, etc.)?
  • Do you plan to use the image or pdf viewer also for Iris version 6?
