It depends on what you mean by creating an independent IT consulting network. Informal networks (i.e. talking to other consultants, going to events, generally business networking) certainly do exist and they&#x27;re as helpful as in any business. Sometimes they help you generate new leads, sometimes you&#x27;ll learn about interesting new opportunities and in general knowing other people from the industry will help you learn and share useful information about how to run your business.<p>Then there are sales-orientied networks like Gun.io . Do you have something in mind more along those lines?
