Effective global networking just got easier, or, if you are feeling rather inundated with networking concepts, the field just got a bit more crowded.

This particular networking service plays an interesting angle - networking via your travel itinerary.

“Business travel hasn’t changed since the introduction of the Internet, with travelers making plans oblivious to the itineraries of industry colleagues and sometimes even people on their own team, wasting time and losing valuable opportunities to connect – even when they’re not traveling.

PairUp is about empowering the business traveler to reinvent his/her business trip by introducing the concept of connected travel, allowing business people for the first time to easily share travel plans and instantly search for potential business connections at their next trip destination or industry event – across companies and across booking engines.”
