Is the JP Morgan Freshman Focus worth it?

I applied on a bit of a whim. I was invited to the SF Corporate & Investment Bank Freshman focus. As a freshman is this worth going to? I would have to book a flight as I am not that close. What exactly is this event?

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I found my career roadmap session with Constantin very helpful and informative. He was approachable, knowledgeable and communicated his advice clearly throughout the conversation. It was particularly useful to discuss my current position as a recent Economics and Finance graduate looking to break into investment banking, and how I can best approach the recruitment process. I appreciated his perspective on the industry and the practical guidance on improving my chances of securing interviews. The session gave me a clearer understanding of where to focus my efforts moving forward, particularly around networking, applications and interview preparation. Overall, a positive experience and I would be happy to work with Constantin again.”
