Informal relationships and work relationships are always the best. "Its who
you know...." You can look for user groups and other similar groups to
mingle in. I find that conferences are rarely of any use to a freelancer
when it comes to networking, but that may just be my personal experience.
Another option is to hook up with an agency for a while. Someone like
Aquent could get a few short gigs for you, and chances are you may meet some
people along the way. Of course, those agencies wont let you freelance
directly with those companies for about 6 months, but you could very well
meet some people at the company with outside projects.
