Don't ask them questions just because, ask them something you actually care about. I'd give examples, but I don't know what you like/who specifically you will be meeting. I would definatly ask as many questions as you can though, because this may be your only chance to do so.

I'm sure they get "how can I become as successful as you" and other suck-up, I'm so happy to be meeting you type questions all the time. Challenge them and who knows, maybe they'll actually answer with some honesty...or they could just ignore you. There's always that possibility, too.
