Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Info Session - Taking this opportunity to network

So, MS and BOA are coming to my school(non-target) in February to talk about a technology analyst program. I'm a finance major and not a computer science major, but i'm going anyways.
I want to take this opportunity to network and hopefully raise my chances of breaking in(my chances are not good as of now) How do I go about doing so? what should I ask?

I think you should keep in mind that the people who get sent on these things usually work in the group they're recruiting for. Meaning that the people going to your school probably work in whatever technology group they're getting interns for.

They could also be HR. Just keep these two things in mind, because if they don't have some kind of connection to FO recruiting, you stand a chance of being sidelined or of just pissing them off.

They are 100% going to be tech analysts. Take a second to fully internalize and actually understand how networking works. After hanging around on this site I get this feeling that a bunch of kids think that networking is just something you "do" - something to be checked off on a list - but it's an active process. I second packmate; if you really want to go to an info session, just go to a nearby target school.
