You go out of your way to introduce people to others and that alone makes you indispensable. Your last point is a great one. You're an amazing connector, Em.

You go out of your way to introduce people to others and that alone makes you indispensable.

Your last point is a great one.

If you go with your friends/contacts, the temptation (at least for me) is to stick with them or stay nearby to make them feel comfortable. This hampers achieving that goal of meeting new folks. I used a new fun strategy last night -- instead of sticking with a friend, I introduced him to someone I knew that could be a very valuable connection for him, saw that they got into a conversation and went on my way to go meet more new people. Win win. It's super important also to make sure your social calendar match up with your personal and professional goals. I will not be going at as many "social media" events this year as I did last year. While those events were so valuable for meeting those "connected" people, more of my time this year will be spent at events that gather the food and beverage industry, food lovers and food writing communities.
