In the aforementioned group, dropping your linkedin, angellist and twitter name on there will be a good idea. I've also pitched my idea in the group and the like and at least managed to get some good connections and some good leads from the group to start. AFAIK, there will be a meetup of some kind after startupschool as well. Other than that, just go out there and talk to people. A networking event is a networking event no matter who's going. Many of these people will only be there for one day, so try to take connections from a diverse group of people. Much of your correspondence with people going is going to be online anyways. Just secure what you can.
