From the most obvious, places like LinkedIN, to researching those in your market area and connecting with them. Chances are they have a LinkedIN, Twitter, Facebook, or some other form of account which you can use to meet up and contact them without being too abrupt. Once you know who you want to network with, google can easily be your friend on finding out exactly how to network with them (like social networks). I've simply contacted peers through their website before as well. Shamess

Should I just email random people in my market area? Networking has always something I’ve been excited about.
