I love playing the cook-with-what-you-have game! It's like a delicious puzzle! Looks like this turned out great.
Ah I'm so conflicted! I think I've gotta go with Teemo though—that smile is infectious!

Definitely #teamTeemo!
If the weather is nice, enough, I would be inclined to go on a little walk with her. Gets her away from the prying eyes of her colleagues, plus the fresh air (and change of scenery) might help her calm down.
Networking events are so challenging for me, but these tips seem really pragmatic and like they could really help me out! I especially love the idea of a really short follow-up email to set another time to meet-up. I'm really terrible at following up because I always feel like I need to write out this long email. That seems much more manageable—and a good way to keep my name in that person's mind!
