When to network for PE FT analyst programs?

Hi,

I am an incoming SA at a boutique, and I’m interested in recruiting for full-time PE analyst programs. However, I’m planning on going abroad next semester, and know there will be a huge time difference for networking. 

When is a good time to start networking for PE analyst programs? Is it probable that my SA bank will find out?
Thanks!

What if you are at a semi-target but at a top group (GS TMT etc.), what do you recommend to get into the events and networking sessions?
