If you frequently travel to business conferences etc. and want to expand your network, check out PairUp.com
According to Business 2.0 Magazine, “PairUp.com allows you to start networking as soon as you know your itinerary. Simply upload the contents of your Outlook address book and post your flight info and any trade shows or conferences you’ll be attending. PairUp will notify you by email or desktop widget when it finds a colleague or client heading for the same place. You’ll also receive alerts when your contacts are headed your way, and you can let your plans be seen by fellow professionals you don’t even know - yet.
Pros: Multiple ways to share your travel information. Notify just your boss, everyone in your company, all your Outlook contacts, or even all PairUp users in your industry.
Cons: Still in its infancy and needs more members, but the concept is clearly catching on. Founder Esteban Sardera says he is in talks to partner with conferences and trade shows so regular attendees can join the network.”
