Find out who is going to be speaking, on panels, and attending as special guests. Find out what their track records say about their interests, and be prepared to pitch the right ideas to the right individuals.
Remember that until people are coming to YOU with work offers, you're still in the stage of your career where you have to make things happen for yourself. And you have to be prepared to spend some money to invest in that career.
Another and surer way -- although fraught with an obvious difficulty -- is to be able to walk up to them with a contract in hand! If you have serious interest from a production company in your work, an agent will probably be more than willing to look it over with you and consider you as a client.
If you're a novelist looking for an agent or a publisher, it's maybe even more difficult.
There's no quick or sure answer... It depends a lot on what you want out of the process. Self-publish if you're interested in having good-looking copies for friends to read, and /or if you have enough energy to push its sale yourself.
Otherwise, it's the long and unsure road of submitting to a million publishers in the hopes that you'll find one whose list isn't already set years in advance, and even if they love your book, you'll probably see it in print with a teeny run of 500 copies somewhere around 2020...
