David Price suggests acting like the host at any gathering: circulate, learn names, and help others. You become memorable, gather intel on interesting people, and build real rapport instead of standing around nervous.

Hello, David Price here, the short guy who helps you walk tall. I learned a technique many years ago. I don't know who I learned it from, or maybe I just did it. I don't know. It's called, be the host, not the guest. So if I went to a party, for instance, after a little while, I'd take a platter of food around to everyone. I used to make it a bit of a game, and that was to remember everyone's name. So as I walked around, I'd say, I'm working on learning everyone's name here. So I'd go around and I'd learn their name, and then I'd just keep going with the plate. And after a little while, I'd take another plate round and I'd try and remember people's names. The issue was everyone remembered me. It was a great way to get to know people, and I found out a little bit about them, and I found out who the interesting people were. I found out who the people who were not quite so interesting. I learned their names and they all learned mine. It's a great trick. Be the host, not the guest.
