Does getting selected to a PE fund networking breakfast/event or coffee chat (through a headhunter) mean anything?

Are they selective, and how likely is it that you'll get a first round after getting invited to either? Headhunters have been inviting me to some networking events and was wondering if it actually meant anything.
