What does Networking mean?

Networking refers to making and developing professional or business contacts that can lead to sharing experience, cooperation, recommendations or new opportunities. It takes place in person at conferences, meetups and company events, but also online through social networks, professional communities or discussion groups. In business and marketing, networking can help you gain new clients, partners, suppliers, employees or expert contacts. It is not just about collecting contacts once, but above all about building long-term relationships based on mutual trust, usefulness and regular communication.
