Have you downloaded member's details (say, location) of your network?

Hello all,

This is not information we would ever make available. We strive to protect the privacy of all of our members and would not make that information accessible within the community.

If you see that a member is part of a local chapter of a city you will be visiting and have built a relationship with them during your time here within the community, reach out via the inbox feature and see if they are interested in meeting you while you're in the area.

However, I would discourage going through your entire network and sending messages. Building relationships takes time and effort and I would only reach out to those you have already taken the time to do so with if you plan to be in their area.

I don't imagine many people would be keen to meet a stranger who contacts them out of the blue just because both people are members of the same enormous website. If you really want to meet PMs while traveling, just visit the nearest PMI chapter. I can certainly provide you with that list of names.

Marjorie - Thanks for sharing concern about privacy. It is a good safeguard to restrict mass contact/emails.

However, I do see some situations where members would like to meet their network contacts to develop close relationship. Now, for example, certain members { not me :) } with huge contact list would like to meet their network contacts during Los Angeles PMI Global conference. At current features of site, it's huge effort to identify and contact ahead of time to meet his/her LA-based contacts.

But, I do agree with your concern that such functionality can be put to misuse.
