Attending conferences is a time-honored way to network and to keep abreast of new developments in your field. If you can’t attend a conference, the next best thing is to go to the conference Web site and browse the topics being addressed. Sometimes you will spot the name of a presenter who you know. Other times you will pick up a new name, who is presenting on a topic of particular interest to you. From there, it is a simple matter to send an email or make contact in some other way.
Here a few examples …
