Organic networking is great. By that I mean: meeting people out and about that are doing things you also like to do. Some of them will be business owners, particularly if you are hanging out in places that business owners are hanging out in. If you're into software, go to software meetups, for instance.
Going to dedicated networking events is mostly a waste of time. 95% of the people will be either a) Insurance Agents b) Real estate agents c) Financial advisers d) Multi level marketers. I've been to many, many of them, and this has proven to be true in all cases. The one exception is here in Phoenix there's a group called ELiances which is filled with other more noteworthy people and they exclude the aforementioned groups. I didn't end up staying there, but I can see the value for some.
