What are some good questions to ask while networking?

I try and go to as many conferences as possible, Meetup groups, and have even scored some coffee sit-downs with some interesting people. A problem I tend to run in to is I don't know what kinds of questions I should be asking. I try and do the obvious, get them talking about themselves, ask about their day etc.

What types of questions should I be asking to leave a good impression?
