The idea of bringing someone from your organisation is an interesting one - although I'd say there would be the temptation to spend too much time talking with them. Getting some help with intros when you're there though is a great idea - whether that be through a maven as you suggest or even the event organisers. In fact, if you ask nicely, it's often possible to sneak a peak at the list of attendees before the event in which case you can ask for a specific introduction. Mark Hi Piaras and thanks for the mention
