Networking during SA?

Will be at an EB in NY this summer. Any advice for networking both within and outside the firm? ie: getting lunch vs coffee chats, who to start with and should i start with entry-level to higher-level in a group, or entry-level across groups, when should i start networking, etc, etc... any advice appreciated!
