Set an objective for what you want to accomplish, and remember it's a business affair, not an opportunity to let loose. Arrive early to greet and thank your hosts. If you are one of the first to arrive, they'll remember you. Mingle and make small talk about current affairs, but don't discuss controversial issues. And always carry your business card. Handing it out isn't being too forward--it's giving people a chance to remember your name.
