North Carolina’s rich agricultural history meets cutting-edge innovation at RTP180, Frontier RTP’s quarterly speaker series, with “AgTech.” The in-person event is officially sold out, but interested parties can stream it live via PBSNC Livestream on Thursday, May 15 at 6:00 p.m. Tune in as experts from across the Triangle, including Dr. Greg Goins from NC A&T, Justin Gayliard of BASF, Amanda L. Rose from RTI International and Dr. John Gottula from SAS, explore the high-tech future of agriculture and the innovations shaping the work of farmers and producers in our state.

At 5:00 p.m., attendees are invited to a meet-and-greet with Dr. Catie McVey, founder of OsRostrum, Inc., and Pearl, a retired show cow from the Ran-Lew Dairy, for a hands-on demonstration of the AgTech startup’s AI-driven tech.
