When there is an event that we get involved(organize, co-organize etc), we will notify members. Also, members are HIGHLY encouraged to organize their own events, especially social, networking type events(meetups) . Being the event organizer or host, you have much better opportunity to make more connections. If you enjoy real in person conversations, love talking with people, confident about your social skill, communication skill etc then in person event may be your best choice. Otherwise you can do online(internet) meetings using free service like Free Conference Call etc. Best of all, by doing events you will not only build more connections but also earn extra income! We will also help to bring more people to your event!
