Now that IB summer analyst programs have kicked off, I’m starting to see some LinkedIn posts about sick corporate training events, ex. WF interns getting flown out to Orlando and MS interns going to speaker sessions on an aircraft carrier. Are there other instances of investment banks doing cool shit in general for interns?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, investment banks are known for hosting some incredible events for their summer analysts. Here are a few standout examples:
Exclusive Social Events: Some banks organize high-end social gatherings, such as rooftop parties, estate events in Connecticut, or even trips to the Hamptons. These events are designed to foster networking and camaraderie among interns and associates.
Luxury Perks: Interns have reported experiences like attending games in luxury suites, sponsored trips, and even private tables at exclusive venues. These perks often extend beyond the internship, especially for MBA-level associates who celebrate with signing bonuses and global travel.
Unique Training Locations: As you mentioned, some banks host training sessions in unique venues, such as aircraft carriers or destination cities like Orlando. These events combine professional development with memorable experiences.
Sponsored Celebrations: Certain firms or sponsors go the extra mile by funding extravagant celebrations, such as class trips to Las Vegas or other high-profile destinations.
These events not only make the internship experience unforgettable but also serve as a way for banks to showcase their culture and attract top talent.

Good: yacht parties, poker nights, rooftop bars, fine dining etc.
Shit: NYC scavenger hunts in 90 degree weather, cramped escape rooms with people who don’t give a shit and just want a drink/food
