When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

stare a stretto contatto, gomito a gomito
Ho trovate molti stralci dove vuol dire l'opposto: "... opportunities for you to bump elbows with other professionals who also have a love..", oppure " opportunities to bump elbows with celebrities".
Sembra che volgia dire proprio stare a contatto, con i gomiti che si sfiorano, ma senza antagonismo, anzi, pare una condizione desiderabile...

You are right; found another example where the potential customers of a restaurant were assured they wouldn't be 'bumping elbows' with other customers, so it can also mean "stare stretti, appiccicati"- thanks, your comments precious

stare vicino/conoscere/fare conoscenza/ecc. (vedi sotto)
esempio: "What's more one lucky winner will get a pair of VIP tickets allowing them, and a mate, the opportunity to rub shoulders with the stars backstage in the VIP bar! " (sito)
Tipo - "Vieni ad essere vista vicini i VIP."
Perciò penso che questa frase è un invito a stare vicini i loro clienti vip..... cioè "be seen" con loro.
Solo che non so un modo analogo oer dirlo in Italiano. Magari semplicemente
"stare vicino/conoscere/fare conoscenza/ecc."
