RTP180: Failure

*IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL* RTP180: Failure sponsored by RTI International

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!

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?

If you work hard enough at anything, you are bound to experience a scary concept — failure. Although many of us have dealt with defeat on the road to success, we don’t always feel comfortable sharing those details with others. At this month’s #RTP180 event, we are getting real about failure. Learn from restaurant owners, product developers and professionals in the mental health space as they share on this topic. Get inspired by real stories and enjoy complimentary popcorn, beer from Fullsteam RTP and wine from RTP Uncorked.
