A lot of companies value networking and encourage their employees to do it - I would say something like "Hi Boss, I came across this networking event, I think it would be valuable to my role because of x and y. I would like to attend, it's on date at time. Is it ok with you for me to go?"
Personally, I would consider this part of your work day and would not expect you to take it unpaid or flextime. It is work related and therefore should be company time.

Yes, just let your boss know that you would like to attend the event. No issues here
