Who are the top 5 people I need to connect with when I get to the city?

Jeffrey Baird ‏ @Jeffrey_Baird: I’m moving my company to NYC in a few months. Who are the top 5 people I need to connect with when I get to the city?

ANSWER:

I don’t know what your company is so maybe I’m making assumptions but here is what I do. As soon as you move your company to New York, organize a dinner and invite the CEOs of your top five competitors. Get everyone drunk and talk shop. What better way to find out the lay of the land in your industry?
