Perhaps we should plan a meeting to get some real live networking going on and establish relationships not only through the internet, but face to face. I think Stage 32 is a great "reaching out & connecting" tool, but I believe the real networking doesn't fully happen until people actually meet in person and realize the things and needs they have in common professionally as well as personally. I live in L.A. as I'm sure many, MANY of you do. Perhaps the Stage 32 creators can help me creating "Networking Events" in the city, which I think would take this website's efficiency to the next level!
I'm up for an LA networking event should one be created.
I'm sure there are a lot of people on the site - myself included - that would welcome the opportunity for real life meetings. Even a set once a month time at a set location would work. I've been in past groups that held similar meetings, and they were very successful.
Hey guys...This is a great idea. We have had a couple of 32 meetups at various film festivals we've been attending. We did one in SD and Austin most recently. More will happen down the road. We certainly encourage all 32'ers to set up face to face meetups whenever and wherever possible. We'd be happy to help promote them, of course.
That's great Richard, thank you for your message. Perhaps you can add an "Events" tab on top where we can add networking events and/or industry related activities so more people can find out about them and come?
We need more people! I want to meet people, not only profiles! =)
