No matter how many times you’ve done it, you can still get nervous. These tricks help.
Wear a blazer to cover up sweaty pits.
Unless you have that armpit Botox, you're going to sweat. A blazer or cardigan is a good way to hide the inevitable sweat circles. If it's hot and you're wearing just a blouse, avoid colors (like light blue) and fabrics (like silk) that show wet patches more.

That blazer will also help you keep your shoulders squared back without making your chest seem obscene
Posture is important! But women know that just pulling your shoulders back can be a little...too boobiful? It sucks, but it's true.
A blazer helps keep your shoulders somewhat straight just because of the cut, and gives the illusion you're not slouching. Plus, the modesty of a blazer offsets whatever business you have going on in the front when you pull your shoulders back.

Before you speak, shake hands with everyone: Do pumps pumps and look the person in the eye.
That's how you handshake without being a creep. Two pumps and done.
Introduce yourself. To remember someone's name, repeat it back immediately.
The sooner you repeat the person's name back, the more likely you are to remember it. Do this while shaking hands:
You: "Hi, I'm Katie."
Them: "I'm Janet."
You: "Janet? Nice to meet you."
