The North Carolina Technology Association (NCTA) will convene leaders from across the state at their member-only, two-day retreat to explore the state of the tech sector. Being held on Thursday, July 31 and Friday, August 1 at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro, this conference will feature presentations on how companies are driving innovation to stay ahead of the curve and how they are using nontraditional sources to find the IT talent they need.
There will be two panel presentations on these topics with the following panelists:

Ted Abernathy, Managing Partner of Economic Leadership LLC, will provide an update on NCTA’s “State of Industry Report” project, an initiative to provide a clear picture of North Carolina’s tech sector. The conference will conclude with a mid-year economic forecast from Wells Fargo’s Senior Economist.
“We are very excited to have such a strong line-up of business and technology leaders to share their perspective on North Carolina’s technology industry,” said Brooks Raiford, NCTA president and CEO. “We expect great content and executive peer engagement at the Leadership Retreat.”
