One of my favorite things to do is to organize entrepreneur dinners when I travel. I usually ask somebody local who knows the local scene to invite out 10-15 local entrepreneurs who might be interested to meet up and I agree to pick up the tab.

What I love is that I don’t pre pick the companies. I don’t try to optimize for who might be a great investment opportunity or somebody that I really “should know.” In stead of just calling up buddies who live in the area or inviting out the most senior person in town that I know, I opt for random interactions. - Good Read [http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2012/01/01/spend-2012-on-the-right-side-of-the-haimish-line/]
