It's a conversation
You're not there to "sell" your research. Networking is a chance to exchange perspectives, understand challenges and build relationships. If you think of it in terms of "let's stay in touch" rather than "let's do something" it may feel less daunting. You don't need to network with everyone; one or two good conversations are often more valuable than talking to everyone in the room.
