PIMCO PREP (New York/Newport Beach) 2018 Thread

Just heard back from HR informing me that I was accepted to PIMCO PREP sophomore event taking place in April. Any fellow participants this year? Has anyone participated in this in the past?

Hope that helps.

I went last year. Very valuable and fun experience. You hear from a few speakers, go through case studies based on macroeconomic situations, have lunch, and have a networking session. I ended up accepting a GS offer, and I am sure it was a help and conversation topic on the resume given PIMCO's reputation.
