Katie,
There's a cool new group for networking -Who'ja.
www.meetup.com/whojaphilly.

Who’ja software connects you in advance to the people that matter.

Once you register on the site (whoja.com) and set up your profile with 4 simple questions, the software will do all the rest. When someone you are looking to connect with is going to attend the same event as you are, you get an email to introduce you to each other.
Upcoming Events:

9/5 Networking After Work - Public House
