I work for a Mission Critical General Contractor, and while we have a MSA (Master Service Agreement) with two primary clients in the industry, I’m looking to expand our client base. I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully broken into new partnerships or witnessed new partnerships form in this space—how did you make those initial connections and get your foot in the door?

Additionally, I’m exploring ways to strengthen our networking efforts within the industry. Organizations like 7x24 and AFCOM are on my radar, but I’d appreciate any tangible strategies, events, or insights that have helped you or others grow professionally in the datacenter sector.
