RBTC’s national Emerging Tech Conference is making a splash on the tech and biotech scene. With over 40 speakers from across North American and 250 people in attendance, last year’s inaugural event—with a special emphasis on AI—was enthusiastically received. Participants called it, “phenomenal,” and “energizing,” and noted that they were looking forward to next year’s conference.
That conference is in the works as RBTC gears up to produce Emerging Tech Conference 2025. Hosted at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center, this high impact event will feature:
- future-focused ideas
- real-world AI applications
- boundary-pushing conversations around emerging technologies
- strategically designed tracks that provide a customizable experience
It’s all happening in two bold, action-packed days on October 30-31.
What to Expect from Emerging Tech Conference
RBTC has strategically designed Emerging Tech Conference 2025 to ensure you’ll walk away with so much more than new information about what’s on the tech horizon (although you’ll get plenty of that too!). Regarding his experience of the 2024 conference Harper Thomas, CEO of Performance Medical Technologies said he was, “blown away,” by the quality of the programing adding, “I have attended a lot of conferences over the years and this certainly ranks among the top. The energy was contagious and [RBTC] really knocked it out of the park.”
