Arrive early and find a comfortable spot to camp. If possible, find a place where you can sit down and others can join you. You can also mingle around from here. Or choose the spot where everyone must pass through to enter the room. Appoint yourself the unofficial greeter, welcome them, tell them where drinks and snacks are, find out about them, say you’ll catch up later. Your warm welcome will make an impression
and also help them feel comfortable.
