The best thing I've found to do is to look for the people with "Walk up RP welcome!" or something similar in their search info; then send them a /tell or simply emote at them.Â
A lot of people don't realize you're trying to engage with them, especially at big events, unless you're a little blatant with it. When you get 10~15+ RPers all in a room it tends to scroll by very quickly, so you look for specifics in order to keep up. If you want to get in on some of it, you need to get that person's or group's attention. The different default color of a /tell is an easy way for someone to notice that you're trying to interact with them, as is using a specific person or persons names in your emote.
