Just go for the exhibitor booths on one of the days and try and get interviews (bring a CV) - a lot of companies interview for interns on site. Then come back for the interviews. Most of the conference is a wash. Anita Borg is a money making scheme at this point.

0 may be for someone who works at Facebook. But I think it could be useful for a new grad

Get as many interviews scheduled. Giving out resume doesn't really matter (think how many other women are spreading their resumes = resume black hole) Interview interview interview
