I want to meet with people in LevFin, anyone know how I could network/meet these people?

I want to know more investment bankers in the area, especially since I want to pursue distressed debt lending/investing. I'm in NYC, first year analyst at a small middle-market firm. Are there happy hours for these types of gatherings? I assume no, but just want to get someone else's take who has more experience how you built your connections.

I know connections is really important, especially in sourcing a deal, and just want to know if someone has any tips. I've already started getting closer to the two contacts I have in LevFin (one at a BB and another at a middle market IB). Should I use my current contacts in BB to introduce me to people in LevFin?

Thanks!
