MetLife’s Triangle Tech X (TTX) 2026: The Future Is Now

About

Triangle Tech X, known as TTX, is MetLife's flagship technology conference, now in its eighth year. Rooted in North Carolina's Research Triangle and organised with NC State Engineering as university partner, the 2026 edition is themed "The Future Is Now" and brings together innovators, technologists and business leaders interested in how emerging technology reshapes work and everyday life. The event takes place virtually across two consecutive mornings, with free registration that opens participation well beyond the Raleigh-Durham area. Its programming looks at transformative technologies across science, technology, engineering and mathematics, with a central focus on democratising technology so that more people can understand it, build with it and benefit from it. That framing links corporate innovation with academic perspectives from the partner university. Attendees can follow conversations with influential voices from industry and academia, explore immersive demonstrations and find opportunities for collaboration across disciplines. The half-day format keeps the content concentrated and accessible to working professionals and students alike. For a regional tech community that blends enterprise, research and education, this free online technology conference offers a meaningful look at how inclusive innovation can create new possibilities for people, businesses and communities.
