Thanks for the reply. For me, it's less about meeting developers or engineers and more about meeting professionals that may be helpful (or I could help down the road). For instance, company founders, marketing leads, influencers, brand advocates, etc.
I suppose some meet ups may be helpful for that but it's quite a wide variety of people and industries, etc.
I see your point, although my experience in networking is quite limited, the advice I keep hearing is that people are just people, irrespective of what they do. Building a good relationship with an an engineer opens up their network, which may consist precisely of company founders, marketing leads etc.
Although if you have a specific agenda for networking, then of course target some specific events. I guess my closing thought would be to just connect with people on a genuine level, irrespective of their position, and that would organically lead to connections you are after.
Full disclosure - I’m no expert, just my two cents 👌
