Go to meetups, conferences, etc and just mingle and socialize. Just talk to people and get to know them. There's a monthly lunch and learn near me for infosec and the number of people you meet and network with in a semi formal setting is great. People show up who aren't even part of the industry but want to learn. Has definitely lead me to expanding my network of contacts.
