This week I was at a Meetup with Brandon Fishburn and Jim Patton. Brandon is an entrepreneur and currently the President of the West Side Chamber of commerce. Jim is a financial advisor at West Point Financial Group.
They happen to discuss a prospect meetup event they attended and how the LinkedIn app on your phone can help with that. So, they go on to explain to me how in the LinkedIn in the app how you can use it to connect with people within the same room as you. It was so neat I told them I had to pass it along.
Note, if you’re a veteran, check out this post about getting LinkedIn premium for free.
Open LinkedIn app on your phone and select ‘My Network’. 
In the ‘My Network’ section, click on the ‘Add person’ button. 
Click on the ‘Find nearby’ button. (Note, you might have to enable Bluetooth). 
You will see all the nearby individuals at your event!
Thanks for the information. I recently started a new account with LinkedIn and I am slowly getting familiar with my options here.
