LinkedIn Local – Have you joined yet?

networking tips for LinkedIn

If you use LinkedIn as part of your networking strategy you may have already come across LinkedIn Local? LinkedIn Local is all about taking the online networking offline:

“Get to know the people behind the LinkedIn profiles! LinkedIn Local is a meetup concept that allows you to connect with your LinkedIn network offline, and beyond the job titles, company names and business cards. We are a passionate team from across the world, united around the belief that with authenticity, respect and collaboration we can unlock the door to a prosperous and sustainable living. A LinkedIn Local meetup is special because here you are empowered to meet people in an intimate setting, with discussions facilitated around your hopes and dreams, to connect on a personal level.”

I attended my first LinkedIn Local this week. It was great fun and I met loads of really great people. I am keen to see how the concept develops locally. If you haven’t come across it already I would encourage you to check out their website: LinkedLocally.com and see what is going on in your own backyard.

It makes a refreshing change from more formal networking groups.
