Raleigh, NC - August 18, 2010 –  LinkingRaleighNC.com's OpenLink Networking event date is set for September 16, 2010 between 6-9 pm.  LinkingRaleighNC.com and its event partner, Solas Restaurant, in the Glenwood south area, are gearing up for another opportunity that puts the spotlight on “Face to Face” networking and is helping the local United Way chapter to put needed school supplies in the hands of hundreds of students and teachers across the Triangle.

When asked what the benefits of networking are, Martin Brossman, a member of LinkingRaleighNC.com says, “The OpenLink Networking event gives you a great opportunity to network with other local professional members of the group offline. When networking on a regular basis both online and offline at events that LinkingRaleighNC.com holds, it builds the trust factor and enhances the relationships that we are trying to establish in the community.  In addition to building these relationships, it also helps to develop the business economy in a way that stimulates growth. “

The benefits of sponsoring such an event as OpenLink are numerable. Not only would a business reach its target audience of the professional membership base of Linking RaleighNC’s 10,000 members, but that marketing exposure would be passed on by these members and to their networks. This interested in attending should visit http://openlink.ettend.com to register.
