I am a first year analyst at a boutique in SF and attending my first industry conference next week with the MD. The MD is a panelist and will be busy before the event, during the "networking session'....So, I do not know any attendees and being my first event I am a little nervous - any advice from personal blunders or tips?
It is being held in San Francisco, so the people are a little more inviting / easier to talk to than NY (or so I have heard) ???

Relax bro. All you are doing is talking to other people. That's it. Have a cocktail before, and enjoy it.
I am very social and that is not my major concern... I went to a "non-target" and was a member of one of the largest frats on campus - my networking / social skills helped me land my current position...I just don't know the ins and outs of these events.
The event RSVP list I came across showed the only attendees being CEOs/Execs. of firms in the industry (and maybe a few other MDs)....does all small talk center around industry events?
