RTP180: Health

About RTP180

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?

This Month

This month, we are bringing in the experts to present their unique take on Health. Our speakers will share on environmental protection and human health, the microbiome, how stress effects the mind/body and more!

Prior to the start of the show, join us at 5:00 p.m. for refreshments and networking. When you come early, you can enjoy a complimentary superfood shot from Juicekeys, grab limited edition Frontier fitness swag and learn more about the ways you can practice health and wellness here in RTP. As always, we will have complimentary popcorn, beer from Fullsteam RTP, and wine selections from RTP Uncorked
