Other cons, maybe; this con, no. World Fantasy is great for networking, but in a generalized fashion: you meet people and hang out in the hallways and go to dinner and then afterward you benefit from that. It isn't the sort of con editors and agents attend to listen to pitches (though those cons do exist). Which isn't to say you should avoid saying anything about what you're writing; if the conversation wanders around to the Civil War or whatever, by all means geek out! But I generally say the best way to network at World Fantasy is to make friends. Worry about business later.
(Also, I expect the hard-copy approach is a no almost universally. Remember, whoever you gave it to would have to carry it home. Much more likely is that anybody whose interest you catch would say, e-mail it to me after the con.)
