E.g. Reddit threads, follow certain professionals on Twitter, subscribe to certain journals etc?

Get involved in your local PMI chapter. You'll gain a huge network and they usually offer a number of development programs. Volunteer with the chapter. If you end up at board level, you'll be connected into PMI's leadership institute which offers an amazing program each year and has helped me gain a huge project management network. Connect with the PMI board members on LinkedIn - many of them frequently post articles that are very helpful.

I agree with Michelle. Join your local PMI chapter and volunteer. Most chapters offer free or heavily discounted resources such as mentoring, training, seminars, etc. There’s a LinkedIn group called “PMI Project, Program and Portfolio Management: #1 group for career advancement”. It’s a great forum for Q&A.

Best of luck!

About to join a local chapter, take a look if the local chapter activities will add value to you (in my case, I was a community of interest leader so it helped me). If you will follow the PMI way, then read an understand the PMBOK. Take a look to each knowledge area mainly to quit different tools and techniques. For example, I see you are a business analyst so project scope is a must (because in this case you will be on charge of product scope instead of project scope at least you will be the project manager too). Inside the PMI site you will find lot of valuable information that will help you to research and improve yourself into each knowledge area. Other great point stated above is to be part of linkeding groups, mainly the group stated by Chauncene above. But you will find others.

I've heard of good feeds in Twitter, and have thought about joining to see. Other than that, podcasts, LinkedIn groups, MPUG, and my local chapter. Although have not participated in any chapter events yet, there is one coming up I am signed up for - Professional Development Day. That will provide a good opportunity to not only learn more, but network with my peers.

I would suggest to become more involved in your local chapter and search for volunteer opportunities.
