Best way to network with others

I’m trying to expand my network so I can get a better understanding of the positions I’m applying to but also to hopefully push my resume up/ get it shortlisted. However Im finding variable success with cold emails (via Apollo.io) and LinkedIn outreach (connect w/ note), especially since you can run out of people to reach out to pretty quickly (I’m targeting EU BB from EU target school). 

If anyone has advice on how to get higher quality leads or wider outreach I would be happy to hear it.
