Social strategy for being a host:
Introduce EVERYONE to EVERYONE.
If you met someone five minutes ago, introduce them to the person you met three minutes ago. If someone ask: "How do you know Bob?" you answer "I just met him."
You're not lying. You're not pumping anyone's ego. You are merely exchanging people's names and, if you know them quite well, a sentence or two about why they're awesome.
Everyone likes an introduction.
It's a very simple way to come across as a good host.
