Sohn Conference Networking

Hi, I will be attending the Sohn Conference this monday, and I was wondering what the networking scene looks like over there. Just to be clear, I am a high school student who is going on a student scholarship and I was wondering what would be the most effective way to network. I have often found trouble networking as I do not have much to talk about due to my age and inexperience, so I would appreciate some help regarding how it usually looks at this conference and how I can go about networking with the people there.

Thanks. Yea, students are not allowed in, but there might be a way in like you said. If I do manage to get close to one of the speakers or any high level employee at a HF or something similar, how should I go about networking? Should I say that I am only in high school and talk about my passion for investing and managing money? Not sure how to make the most of this opportunity.

Thanks!
