questions to ask at “networking” events for undergrad

pretty much what the title says, i’m going to a networking event with an IB company designed for undergrads. obviously there are certain basic questions to ask, but are there any you can think of that could help me stand out? thank you!

Just my two cents, I don’t think you should aim to “stand out” with your questions. I think it’s a safer strat to just come across as a normal, amiable guy who they could see themselves working 80 hours a week with. Try too hard to dazzle someone with a brilliant thought provoking question and you might run the risk of coming across as weird
