Durham (American Tobacco Campus) is home to TriHUG, one of the best Hadoop Users Group in the south.

There's a great crop of young, vibrant startups in Durham and Raleigh that are thriving and hiring.

It's a lot more than IBM, SAS, Microsoft and Cisco here. You just have to look a little harder.

TriDUG too, the Southeast's largest Drupal user's group outside of Atlanta.
