Question about the vibe at that big tech mixer in Buckhead last month

I went to the Atlanta Tech Mixer at that spot in Buckhead about four weeks ago, and I gotta say, I think people are wrong about it being a good place to meet people. It was packed, maybe 200 people, but everyone just stood in their little groups talking to people they already knew. I tried to jump into a few chats and it felt like I was interrupting something private. I mean, isn't the point to meet new folks? Maybe it's just me, but I left after an hour and didn't make a single real connection. Has anyone else found a better event where people are actually open to talking?

Is this just how all group events are now?

Oh man, my buddy had the same exact thing happen to him!

Sounds like a universal law at this point. The buddy system is just a way to confirm the misery.
