Ask HN: Etiquette at conferences?

I'm curious if there are any good books or online resources or even coaches/tutors for etiquette and manners, particularly as it applies to academic and tech conferences...

I don't mean like where you put your fork and knife but more:

- how to get in and out of a conversation circle

- event invitations: when is it ok to go and not go

- what's the appropriate amount to talk about yourself and your idea

- how to identify this conversation is going nowhere

- how to approach FAMOUS GUY

- how to appropriately ask your friend to introduce you to his friend, FAMOUS GUY

- etc
