Approach strangers, introduce yourself, “Hi I’m Joe/Jane, I work at Deloitte, we’re harder to get into than Harvard.”
Everyone will be fascinated.
* I do this but I substitute Harvard for Community College
I tried this out but people looked at me funny and I heard them whispering “why did he call himself Joe/Jane?”
“Hi, I’m an accountant. I would love to do your taxes next year.” Works every time.

Sounds legit to me
Just introduce yourself to people. Ask where they’re from, how they know the host, etc. Don’t ask what they do for work right away
This is a great answer. I’m extroverted and usually talk to strangers at parties and this is a great approach. If you happen upon an awkward group say you need to get a refreshment and find another group to talk too. You’ll be fine.

Hi my name is X Deloitted to meet you
Ask your friend if they’d mind introducing you to a few people when you get there (acknowledge you know they’ll be busy, maybe offer to help out as well).

I was taught that the art of good conversation started with genuinely taking an interest in the other person and active listening.
