Networking Out of School

In school at your University it was generally easy to network as the university would often bring someone in to network with. Now, out of school how is everyone networking with asset managers? Outside of going to these crazy expensive conferences (such as Sohn, or whatever) what are you doing? Please note your region as well if you can (as networking in NYC is drastically different than somewhere like Miami).
