My first feeling here is: please reach out. I wouldn't mind a quick honest online call to exchange views and all. My contacts details can be deduced from my profile.

Besides that I have found it hard to meet interesting people, I have found a few through meetup.com communities, some in professional context. Some people are jewels that need to be cherished and admired, there is no magic mine where you can find them for free.

One learning though, the harder it is to get somewhere the more interesting people you will find. In that sense all those networking events have a quality that is proportional to how hard it is to get in.
