English term or phrase: schmoozer
La oración es:

Only schmoozers go to company events.

Por definición encontré:

las personas que tienen (mucha) labia
Explanation:
O quizá "los labiosos"/"las personas labiosas", palabra que encuentro en bastantes sitios mexicanos, aunque, según el DRAE, es propia de Costa Rica y Ecuador.

Me baso sobre todo en esta definición del Urban Dictionary, que me parece acertada:

"schmoozer
A person skilled in the art of ingratiating small talk – talk that is business oriented, designed to both provide and solicit personal information but avoids overt pitching."
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=schmoozer

"Labia" se define en el DRAE como "Verbosidad persuasiva y gracia en el hablar". Como "schmoozer", es coloquial.

bascially they're opportunists so maybe "oportunista" would work

Se aplica a la persona que quiere aprovechar al máximo las oportunidades y que para ello no duda en anteponer su beneficio a cualquier otro principio o actitud: es un oportunista que logró el ascenso aprovechándose de los fallos ajenos.

Those who like to go to a party and talk to everybody. Not necessarily a very pejorative term.
