lateral recruiting process

I am currently going through a lateral associate recruiting process and from one MM to a different MM - main reasons are more personal / geography related. My first conversation was with an MD and went really well, so he asked if I'd have some availability to come down to the office and meet some other members of the team. 

I'll be making a personal trip to where the office is anyway, so I noted that I could definitely stop by. HR reached out and noted that there will be a few interviews in the morning and then lunch with a few members of the team. Should I prepare for this like a superday? 

For context, I am a 3rd year associate at my current firm. I haven't seen too much information here on lateral hiring for more senior associates, so wanted to see if anyone had any insight. Thanks!
