The Frontier

Frontier RTP: RTP180

A professional speaker and networking series with complimentary popcorn and beverages.

<p>Innovation. Education. Industry. These are powerful angles—and what Research Triangle Park is known for. At RTP180, speakers from our founding Universities, Park companies and the North Carolina community at-large, are called upon to speak passionately and authentically about what matters to them. The twist? They must do it in 5 minutes or less! </p><p>We ask our speakers to be intentional with their 300 seconds on stage. What perspective of their industry are they able to share? What are their passions? What would our community be surprised to learn? What case studies in North Carolina are cutting edge? </p><p>It&#x27;s more important than ever to discuss the topic of sustainability. At this month&#x27;s event, we are bringing in local experts to provide insight on ways we can better maintain our environment. Our speakers will share on agricultural sustainability, climate change, water and energy conservation and more!
