Greetings-
One of the best ways is to do some reading. There will be books, magazines and online websites and articles dedicated to your industry. Read and look at those often.
Once you find websites that you find helpful, create a bookmark in your browser, and many of them have the ability to sign up for mailing lists where they will send you emails with information and links as well.
Another way is to attend conventions or watch them online if available, related to your industry.

Staying updated is a breeze when you subscribe to newsletters, tune into podcasts, follow blogs, and watch videos on your topic of interest. If you're keen on a particular area, why not participate in seminars or webinars? From my experience, I've discovered that reading consistently remains the most beneficial approach. It's a wonderful way to keep learning and growing, so give it a try!
