* [http://www.itk.org/Wiki/images/e/e6/ITK_Examples_Iowa_Meeting_2010_11-8-2010.odp Official announcement]
===ItkVtkGlue===
ITK and VTK are very separate toolkits - ITK for image processing and VTK for data visualization. It is often convenient to use the two together - namely, to display an ITK image on the screen. The ITKVtkGlue module serves exactly this purpose. Also provided inside ItkVtkGlue is a QuickView class to allow a 2 line display of an ITK image.
