Most cities and towns have small business agencies that put on free or low cost seminars/workshops. I've attended a number of local meetings and workshops. Not only can the information be valuable, but the networking and passing out business cards doesn't hurt either.
You can find out who the major players are around town, find out who the phony people are, get free accounting advice (tips/tricks -- saved me a few thousand) get job leads, setup joint-ventures and get a chance to associate with people who maintain a positive mental attitude.
It is well worth anyone's time to make a point of getting out of the office to so some local networking.
