**Talk 1 - Muhammad Jassem - Reviving Legacy Code: Modernizing with Rector**
[YouTube Trailer](https://youtu.be/TqtQ8cR8Cw8)

Imagine stepping into your dusty, old kitchen when hunger strikes. You can make yourself a good meal, but would you feel comfortable to do it in that kitchen?

Time for some cleaning and upgrading! Would you do that yourself or hire a specialized kitchen installer to do it for you? And that's how it goes with legacy code too ... where the ghosts of developers past haunt your present and scare your future!

That code needs some cleaning and upgrading as well!

Join us as we explore how Rector can be your kitchen renovation expert and let's bring your codebase back from the darkness.

**Talk 2 - Robin Martijn - Taming Gigantic Databases with DBCopilot**
[YouTube Trailer](https://youtu.be/y8k7IefbfFI)

AI can already do just about anything: bang out code, rewrite copy, even crank out memes on demand. But the second you try to talk to your data? Suddenly it’s way more complicated.

The go-to fix is NL2SQL: you ask a question in plain language, AI turns it into a SQL query, and boom, answer. That is, assuming the AI has your entire schema memorized.

But what if your database is massive, hundreds or thousands of tables, all cross-linked? That’ll never squeeze into an LLM’s context window in one shot.

Enter DBCopilot. It pours your database into a graph, grasps the relationships, and sends only the relevant slice to the LLM. Smart and scalable.

In this talk, Robin shows how DBCopilot pulls it off, why it works, and what sets it apart from everything else out there. And yes, we’re going live with the demo.
