Adapters bridge the gap between legacy and modern systems by providing a useful interface. A two-way adapter can allow data to flow between applications. Ideally, there should be one adapter for each data type. The adapter manages data extraction and translation. #adapter #legacy #modernization #API #integration Adapter Explained: Bridge Legacy & Modern Systems #shorts

Call for Speakers 2026 is open! 2026 Call for Speakers is now open on Sessionize! Looking for something to do during the Southern Snowpocalypse of 2026? You may want to put together a conference talk. The 2025 Carolina Code Conference was a blast, featuring 25 speakers after receiving 318 talks submissions in our two day single track event. A good time was had by all! Today, we officially announce the 2026 Call for Speakers on Sessionize! We’re a little later than usual getting it opened this year, but we’re still inside of January. The call will be open until March 31st, so you should have plenty of time to get things ready. After selling out in 25 minutes during the 2023 event, we grew in 2024 to 266 attendees in our first 2 day event as the debut conference at the new Flywheel building in beautiful Greenville, SC. We returned to Flywheel in 2025 and will be back again to this incredible venue this year in 2026 on August 14th and 15th. Tickets on Sale Now! Within 3 hours we can easily reach Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, Augusta, GA, Charleston, SC and Knoxville, TN. Extending our reach to this entire quad state region is a major focus and the reason why we keep coming to your meetup groups! We even put together a video invitation. Seriously. As a speaker, our goal is to promote and amplify you. You can look forward to a committed single track event where you will be speaking to everyone in attendance. All talks are professionally recorded and published online. Each selected speaker will receive 2 tickets to the event so that you may bring a guest if you wish. It's going to be a good time and we hope you join us! Submit a Talk! Talk Format and Length Each speaker can submit up to 3 presentations and each presentation can apply for multiple time slots (5-10 minute lightning, 15-30 minute moderate, 45-60 minute keynote). If you have a talk that can be adjusted for length, you can select each length with a single submission and we highly encourage you to do so. Last year out of 30 speakers we had 5 keynotes, 10 intermediate and 15 lightning talks. Topics range from Programming and Software Development, DevSecOps, Cybersecurity, Product Development, Career and more! We’re always interested in highlighting technologies that are more obscure, less mainstream, combine technologies for unique benefits or potentially actively used but maybe not as popular as they once were (Perl, COBOL, etc). Any talk that fills a gap which wasn’t covered in the prior year will also get some special consideration as well. If you are passionate about it, that passion will come through in your talk. Single Track Commitment Even with our growth, we're committed to remaining a single track conference where each speaker will have access to address the entire group of attendees with their passion. Rather than a multi-track format where you may have to worry about winning your time slot once selected, we stagger the length of talks throughout the day in order to keep the audience engaged so speakers are asked to submit talks for multiple length formats: Keynote (45-60 minutes), Moderate (20-30 minutes) or Lightning (5-10 minutes). Keynote talks will open the day and follow our lunch hour, while Moderate length and Lightning talks will alternate throughout each day (2023 schedule for example). If a speaker drops out at the last minute, we may reach out to you to increase the length of your talk to fill the slot. This format was very well received last year. Social Media Promotions If you have anything going on professionally that you'd like us to share on social media, we will be happy to do so. Again, our goal is the amplify you. Just ask. We're planning to utilize a more focused marketing budget for this year's event to amplify and focus our social media presence. We're most active on LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram and Mastodon (since March 2023) and YouTube (since September 2023). Travel Assistance Unfortunately, we have not historically had the budget to provide travel assistance but are happy to promote your company as a sponsor if they will cover it for you. More details will be provided if your talk is selected. We have already renewed our block of rooms at Aloft Downtown Greenville. You can find more details on our Event Details & Registration page. Subscribe to our email list to be the first to know as things develop with the 2025 Carolina Code Conference!
