Hello Abolfazl: I agree that networking and connections are very important. In pursuit of this, when I am able I attend my local PMI chapter meetings. I drive 1.5 hours one way after work to do so. My chapter is very active and engaged and I always leave those meetings feeling inspired and re-energized about project management. The connections I make in those meetings are so valuable to me and it is very interesting to discuss project management from so many different industries and perspectives. The keynote and pre-session speakers are diverse and I learn so much. For me, this is the best way to expand my profession PM network in person. I also try to engage on this website as time allows, to network and make those important connections - even though virtual, they are still meaningful and helpful. Saving Changes...

Best way is to attend local chapters ..if not via webinars where you can find people of mutual interests in similar topics and connect with them via network request. Saving Changes...
The more you contribute (in person or virtually) the more folks will reach out to connect with you.
The challenge is to grow a quality network not just a large network.

Good responses above. Many different ways, either in-person or virtually. There are groups through LinkedIn, Meetup, local Chapter, etc. Saving Changes...
