LinkedIn is a powerful tool – if you are using it and using it correctly. It’s not a place to post your resume and check in once a quarter. It’s a place to find professionals with whom you have something in common and build lasting relationships with them. Networking is a powerful thing, and in the age of globalization you can’t depend on your home market to provide you with all the relationships you will need to thrive professionally. LinkedIn can bring together folks from all over the planet. But what happens when you want to meet your online contacts offline? This is where #LinkedInLocal comes in – we bring together people in a central location, some from the area and some not, to get to know the people they spend so much time with online, in person.
