So many people are trying to do the same, so it’s an effort to get above the noise. My best advice would be to target a handful of people whose work you admire and reach out letting them know you’ll both be in town and you’d love to buy them a (free)drink or otherwise connect. If you don’t know them that’ll be low percentage.
A better method is to use your existing network to go to as many events and parties as possible, stay sober, and network your butt off and be charming then. Ask to keep in touch, etc. then continue to grow those new connections after the week is over.
If no existing network, go to all the parties and sell drugs / hand out booze. ;).
I’m kidding. I’m… kidding.
I’ve gotten stuck with bad partners that shmoozed my CCO at Cannes. So I guess it works.
Set up the meetings, or at least the intent to meet, ahead of time.
I’m pretty sure this is how you do it!

Don’t stalk them but go up and say hi if you see them. It’s weirdly normal there. I did this with Greg Hahn. I didn’t get a job but we had a great 10 min conversation
