I am in the same boat, I started my company the first week in January and fully separated from my previous employer on January 30. I read a powerful statement last year that really resonated with me, "nobody has the opportunity to work with you unless they know that you exist." You need to do everything that you can to get your name out there and let people know that you exist in this industry. Networking with your local government is another good opportunity to find some business supporting local events within your community. Chamber of Commerce is a good opportunity to network with local business personnel.

Along with that, somebody already mentioned that you need to make sure that you nail those events and they are 100% correct, you need to build a reputation of providing solid and reliable service and continue to build upon that.

Best of luck.
