First networking/recruiting event advice

Hi guys! I'm pretty nervous about I'm so supposed to go about, since this is my first time going to a recruiting event with many accounting/finance firms. All of the Top 4 will be there and other smaller firms. I'm only a sophomore so I know junior/seniors are a lot more interested in by the recruiters, I assume. Quick info about me: Double major in Accounting and Finance, 3.7 cumulative, 3.8 pre-pro. gpa. In some clubs, have some work experiences from high school, etc. Certified in excel I, plan on getting level 2, 3 soon. My career interests are equity research, IB, and wealth management (broad but It all looks exciting to me and the more I'm learning about each the more narrower my choices are becoming). Also, I went to a small info session where a recruiter from Raymond James came to speak. I was the only undergrad, talked to her after and she wants to see me again at this bigger event with my resume and such.

But again, just looking for quick advice or really anything from your experiences. I appreciate it!
