Give me a followup report in a few weeks or month as to how some of this might have worked for you.
Also, on point #2, make a concerted effort to find unrelated people that you can refer work to. When I get .net projects crossing my path, I have 3 people I immediately can hand off to (depending on their schedule). Make part of the networking purpose at those meetings to find people you can refer work to first.
