1 year, 2 months ago: Meetup.com is a great resource. There are many, many marketing, social media, technology and SEO meetups in this area. Thanks to Research Triangle Park, the Raleigh/Durham area is a hotbed of internet and social media “happenings.”
@deairby, if there’s anything you’d like to know about the area, please feel free to contact me directly. I live over on the other side of the Triangle (southeast of Raleigh) but I’ll be happy to answer whatever questions I can and point you toward some local professional/social/networking groups.
