How can you build a professional network in a new city?

Usually you are not the first person that faced this situation. So find that person that has done what you want to do before and successfully established themselves in your new area. Possibly find them on LinkedIn, connect and follow their model. This will give you a lose framework of what to do, whom to meet first, which events to attend, which ones to skip, etc.

I agree with this. The advice would be different for example if you have moved to that city versus you are trying to expand your business to that city. If you are moving to that city, you need to immerse yourself into the culture. Join professional organizations, check into economic development groups, get involved in some organizations. If you are just trying to develop, business relationship but not move there, consider what organization you may already be a member of that might have members in that area and reach out to them. Get to know the economic development groups and business associations. and do your homework about the business environment for your industry. There are usually many sources of info you can research.

Since we are using a networking platform with a global footprint start with LinkedIn. A lot of the intel on almost any city is there and contacts for you to consider. An "Acre of Diamonds".

I moved to Orlando from Detroit, and joined the local Chamber of Commerce. Being self-employed, I was essentially starting my business all over again. From there I joined a few networking groups, and made friends wherever I went. I also worked to get my LinkedIn connections over 500, where LI stops counting, making everyone in the "500 + connections" category essentially equal. I also made at least two, one-on-one appts. each week to create depth in the network. It was uncomfortable at first, but it got easy because I like people and enjoy learning about them. Network broadened and the work followed. The real lesson was to use the network as a referral source for others. In other words, I was advised to show up to give. Best advice ever.

Social media has made it very easy for people to network, but most people get it completely wrong. Do not: send out generic or template messages; spam people; make it all about yourself. Instead, do: Show genuine interest in the other person; Ask how you can help them or provide them value; Focus on building a long-term relationship. Building a network requires a solid foundation and a long term outlook. People can see through anyone who is simply looking for shortcut.

Discovering the key to building a successful network in a new environment lies in consistent and productive interactions. An effective strategy is to regularly follow up with contacts, demonstrating your dedication and professionalism. Take the initiative to present new opportunities and propose innovative solutions that add value in unexpected ways. By being proactive and showing your ability to bring fresh perspectives and opportunities to the table, you'll establish yourself as a valuable member of the community and a go-to resource for new ventures.

Over my 20 year career in commercial real estate, I have lived in 4 different cities and had to build a network with new professional contacts each time. In addition to building a new professional network, I also wanted / needed to build a social network in each city. I soon found that combining the two groups was an effective way to not only grow my professional contacts, but also a way to find new friends who had similar interests as me…In other words, when putting in energy to make new friends and acquaintances, why not start with individuals who also work in your specific industry.
