Chapel Hill is a university town in North Carolina, home to UNC–Chapel Hill and home to 60,000 residents. Research Triangle Park (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel combined) has a population of 2 million. Given the proximity to universities and business centers, it offers diversity and culture with a small town feel.
Local business etiquette and customs
Small town charm with southern hospitality, with the benefit of culture and arts due to multiple universities and businesses in the area.
Western attire and customs apply. Refined business casual will be appropriate in most cases (pant suits, dresses, etc…). While the area is small in size, many businesses are highly regarded and are active nationally and internationally. Prepare and dress professionally and somewhat conservatively.
Travel and transport
RDU Taxi and Uber are safe and accessible options from the airport and to/from meetings and accommodation. Your hotel may also provide shuttle within a designated area.
