RALEIGH, N.C. - The North Carolina Technology Association, (NCTA) the primary voice of the technology industry in North Carolina, has announced that Emmy Award-winning TV host Rita Cosby will share her insight on leadership and technology and their impacts in the media at A CEO Conversation on Wednesday, April 11, at the Sheraton Imperial in Research Triangle Park, N.C.

“As a ‘Carolina Girl’ who worked and attended college in the Carolinas, I am thrilled to participate in A CEO Conversation with NCTA,” says Cosby. “As a television journalist, I am constantly working with new technologies both in the field, in the studio, and online. Every day I see firsthand the greater role these technological advances are playing in the television news industry and across all media. I look forward to in-depth discussions about the impact of digital media, innovative thinking in the technology sector, leadership, and new growth opportunities to move our industries forward.”

Cosby currently serves as a host and senior correspondent for MSNBC. She anchors a daily live one-hour show, in addition to being the primary anchor of top-rated “MSNBC Investigates” and heading up the “Rita Cosby Specials Unit,” which secures the most sought-after interviews and exclusive reports that air on both MSNBC and NBC network news programs. Cosby has received numerous awards and honors for her reporting, including three Emmy Awards, and has interviewed four U.S. Presidents, President George H.W.
