I use a combination of Meetup and LinkedIn, sometimes Telegram, Facebook or Twitter, and usually scout a couple of weeks to a month or so in advance. At these events I've met with people and connected after, got invited to some private event, meet more people etc.

Right now in mid July there is not many events, just a few, but check out Stockholm Startup Founder, Let's do business STHLM, STHLM Tech Meetup and SUP46 on Meetup to get started for after summer. Add own flavours to fit your interests and focus. I also use LinkedIn quite a bit to find events for specific areas I am interested in. Many times a post with just "Any tech aw going on today/this week/soon?" have been an easy way to get to know what's going on. It's usually at least a few companies hosting something to attend.
