You get people talking about their favorite subject - themselves. Ask them about their family, their background, or their position, their interests, their weekend plans, something. And you look for clues that you can talk to them about. Look for a photo that they got or a pin that they wear, or a comment they make. Ask several questions. You don't have to be informed about what they are interested in, you just have to be interested in it. Find out areas that you can relate to and share your experience there.
