If you can, find out who's coming and commit to meeting several of them listed. You can chose to do it be their name, company or any other piece of information. Try and meet people that have jobs or businesses that you know nothing about and when you meet them, just have them explain what they do. Are there people coming that might help your business? Search for them at the event.
The whole idea of "tagging" someone to meet them at the event is to get you moving. You will be more likely to circulate and not hang around with just people you know. You will also give yourself the opportunity to meet new people, new businesses and new industries. This will also be a great conversation starter...."I noticed that you were coming and I was curious as to what your company does". They'll certainly appreciate the fact that you made a special effort and of course, will be more than happy to fill you in allowing you to gather information about their company.
By also creating a goal to meeting some people (and achieving it!) you also make the networking event a more positive experience for you.
