Great points in here, preparation is key. I try to mix my time up between scheduled meetings and being available in the courtyard to spec out possible folks to do business with my clients. It's always fun to get an impromptu round table with folks I think will have synergy with each other as far as complimentary or direct business as well.

2 things I recommend for people who are attending for the first time:

1) Drink lots of water. Cocktails may be your choice of poison but the arid desert air can quickly dehydrate you before you know it. Thankfully the awesome snack shacks provide free bottled water, so take advantage of it and guzzle up.

2) Pace yourself. Between the sun, alcohol, meetings, dry air, its easy to get worn down.
