I've been a member of Meetup.com for about 18 months, the pandemic of course has greatly impacted on my ability to actual network! However I have been able to locate groups that match my interests and have been involved in a number of zoom meetings.
I must say I am really looking forward to the lockdowns coming to an end so I can meet real people again, I plan to get my vaccine as soon as possible, then all being well I can involve myself in the events in the Midlands and London areas.
A great thing about meetup is that for each group you get a profile which you and personalise to match the meeting group
