What do you think about an entrepreneurship forum?

I have seen many people nowadays are joining all kinds of entrepreneurship forums(e.g. young entrepreneurship forum, world entrepreneurship forum, etc.). There are even entrepreneurship-related competitions for people to join.I have been thinking whether this kind of thing is really useful for people who want to start their own business. Do they really need to attend these forums to learn the necessary entrepreneurship skills? If not, would it be just a waste of time? Surely people like Eric Ries and Steve Jobs did not need to hop around these events to start their own business. Would love to know what you guys think. Fire away your thoughts!

Those are all about biz dev and networking. Networking goes a loooong way in the startup world (goes without saying that it's important in any type of entrepreneurial venture)
