Hi kushagra452,
I agree with all the advice Money9111 gave you and I would also add that it is very important to remember some conference etiquette guidelines:
1) Do not keep an AdCom person hostage. Chat with someone one-on-one for 10 minutes, ask a few questions, make an impression, and then move on. You don't want to put the person in a position of wanting to escape from you.
2) Do not hijack a conversation that has already begun. It is completely fine to walk up and subtly join a group of people who are already speaking with someone, but you should not enter the conversation and then take it over by dominating the conversation and asking several questions in a row.
3) Be welcoming to other people who want to enter your conversation. It does feel a little threatening sometimes when someone walks up and joins your conversation with an AdCom person, but you should welcome that person into the conversation by opening up the circle, acknowledging them, and even introducing yourself if it seems appropriate.
I ran a recruiting fair while at Harvard Business School, and this is the same advice I gave to my peers before the event. It's also the same advice I give to my clients.
Enjoy the fair!
