Networking is good. We all know it. The question is when and how to do it. There are national trade shows and state and regional association conferences. Those are great, because in-person is always best.

But how can you network the other 360 or so days of the year? One excellent place is the Discussion Forum on this web site. You’ll find it under the Interact tab at the upper right corner of the home page.

Here, you can post a question about a problem you’re facing on a job, ask for advice about equipment or technologies, raise an issue of importance to the industry – or launch a discussion about almost any industry topic you can think of.

It’s easy to do. Just click the Interact button and select Discussion Forum. Go through a quick registration process and you’re ready to post. There are six ready-made sub-topics to choose from. Post a question and see how your peers respond. You never know what kind of great advice you might get or where it’s going to come from.

In this online age, discussion forums are a popular way for people with common interests to get together and help each other. Check out the Onsite Installer forum today.
