Linkedin Live Raleigh (LLR) aims to help Linkedin members in the Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill area, deepen the connections they have online, and to build new connections in the real world. While connecting with present, past, and potential colleagues and business partners at Linkedin Live Raleigh, participants meet professionals at all career stages — thus expanding their reach, demonstrating their expertise and finding new opportunities.

A suggested $5 donation collected at the door, will benefit the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina, a nonprofit organization that has provided food for people at risk of hunger in 34 counties in central and eastern North Carolina for more than 30 years. The Food Bank serves a network of more than 800 partner agencies such as soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and programs for children and adults through warehouses in Durham, Greenville, New Bern, Raleigh, the Sandhills (Southern Pines), and Wilmington. In fiscal year 2011-2012, the Food Bank distributed nearly 45 million pounds of food and non-food essentials through these agencies.
