Do you attend networking events? If so, which ones?

I have been meaning to go to some. I am interested in finding freelance opportunities to work as a 2nd AC, Camera Operator, or Director of Photography for Video Projects. I am also interested in Directing Music Video's and short films. I am a proponent of family films and moral content.
