Grad fairs give you great exposure to recruiting companies and opportunities available for you, so use your time at the events wisely. Remember that a lot of graduate positions can fill up very quickly, consider the following to help youi through your day:

• Create a good first impression - Be professional and remember the people on the stands will most likely be employed by that company you want to work for... and you never know when you'll meet them again!
• Make notes - Find out when all the positions open, do your research, and apply early. 
• Network - Make as many contacts as possible and follow them up. This is a good idea if you are making speculative approaches as opposed to just applying for listed roles.
