First Networking Event (Need advice)

Неу, I have a networking event with alumni coming up later this week. As a freshman, I feel that it would be beneficial for me to go and connect with at least a few people there to get my feet wet. What would you guys recommend as some do's and don't's at these sorts of events? Any tips on the dress code / what to wear? Potential questions to ask? Do I need to know my financial technicals? Thanks!
