renew acquaintances

Rekindle old connections

To renew acquaintances is to reconnect with people you once knew but have lost touch with.

The phrase often appears in contexts of returning to familiar places or attending reunions: I'm looking forward to renewing acquaintances at the conference.

It suggests rekindling connections that have lapsed rather than forming new ones.
