HF Networking Event

Invited to a networking event @ a HF. As an intern what kind of things should I have prepared to talk about?

Any advice on the kinds of questions to ask or what I might expect? Will it be more general networking or more convos abt markets etc? Or am I overthinking it and they just want to get to know everyone? Thanks.
