I feel you, it's still super awkward for me. The best tip I ever got was to prepare a few topics that you can bring up when the conversation falls on you ahead of time. It might still be awkward, but at least your brain has a few things in mind so you don't go deer in the headlights on anyone.
Further to the above, prepare a solid elevator pitch that includes things you want people to ask about you. Don’t underestimate telling people about your hobbies and interests - particularly clients.
