How Can You See Which LinkedIn Connections Are in a City You're Visiting?
LinkedIn filters connections by the city they list as home, not by who will actually be there when you travel. Here is how to see future overlap instead.
Short answer
LinkedIn's People search filters your first-degree connections by the city they list as home, not by who will be there on your travel dates. To see future overlap, use a planning app like Droozi: import your contacts and see which connected people share future plans in the city and dates you are visiting, at city level with no live GPS.
What LinkedIn can and cannot tell you
LinkedIn can show you which first-degree connections list a given city as their location. Open People search, add a Location filter for the city, and set the Connections filter to 1st. That returns the people whose profile home base is that city.
What it does not tell you is who will actually be in that city while you are there. A profile location is a static home base, not a travel plan, so it misses the connection flying in for the same conference and the one who just moved but has not updated their profile.
See future overlap, not just home cities
To see who will be in a city on specific dates, you need plans rather than profiles. Droozi is built around future pins: people share the city and date range they will be in, then overlap surfaces for the contacts they choose to share with.
You can import your LinkedIn contacts into Droozi, and connected people who share a future plan in your destination show up when their dates overlap your trip. It stays city-level, with no live GPS, so it answers who will be around later without exposing where anyone is right now.
Who shows up and who stays private
Overlap only appears for contacts who are also on Droozi and have chosen to share a plan with you, so it is opt-in on both sides rather than a scrape of everyone you know. Connected contact sync is part of Droozi's paid tiers.
That keeps the map useful and intentional. You see planned overlap with people who opted in, and you decide which of your own trips are visible and to whom.
Quick FAQ
Can LinkedIn show me which connections will be in a city on specific dates?
No. LinkedIn's location filter reflects the city a connection lists on their profile, not their travel plans, so it cannot tell you who will actually be in town on the dates you are visiting.
Does seeing connection overlap require live location tracking?
No. Future overlap works from planned city-and-date pins that people choose to share, so you can see who will be around later without any live GPS feed.
