I initially stake out a position in the corner, but not too antisocial. It allows me a view of the entire room, and I can see who is coming and going. This allows me to not miss out on seeing people at an event.
If it is a crowed gathering, this strategy doesn't work well, but it gives me a starting point to move through the room and not miss anyone.

Thanks for the SBI!
Ah... An early tactical advantage is moving in to the melee! I like it!
