Investment Banking Financing Group Insight Event at GS - is it worth attending?

I got into this event, which is held at their HQ in London. It is an invite only thing. 

"We have an exciting event planned for you with the opportunity to discover the extensive range of career opportunities and gain insights into the various functions, roles, and responsibilities as well as network with Goldman Sachs professionals."

Please help me, is it worth attending?

Most of these networking events will likely not result in an internship or FT role. I still attend them because it's interesting to get some industry insights and you may connect with an Analyst or Associate on a personal level, which can help you during the recruitment process.

Furthermore, during longer networking/insights events that are invite-only, you get a feeling of whether you want to work at a certain firm because of their culture. If its not too much of a hassle for you to go there, I would go – you won’t get a better insight into culture than at these types of events imo.
