Local GovCon Small Business Networking

Hey, I've gone down the path of setting up a business entity for providing Software, Cyber, and IT services in the local Defense/Intel market. I currently work at a large prime contractor and figure my first step is to find an opportunity as a subcontractor with a large prime. I'm aware of and have utilized some of the resources offered by my local SBA/SBDC and Apex Accelerators but I'm honestly a little lost in the sauce.

To be honest, it would be highly beneficial for me to network with other startup GovCons just to find guidance in answering a lot of dumb questions I would otherwise spend weeks researching online. I also just don't have an idea of how realistic certain opportunities are for me. Does anyone with experience in this industry have any recommendations on local orgs or meetup-link events that would be ideal for someone in my situation? I've never had any real career or business mentorship so I'm just kind of used to doing research the hard way. Thanks for any info!
