Should I do this program? (Student at T10 in Chicago)

Got invited to the Future Leaders Summit program at Alpine Investors (MM PE firm). They are flying me out to their SF office, and I spend 2 days with them. It's a great program on paper, however, I have some scheduling conflicts (will need to miss a lot of important classes and take a JPMC interview in the middle of the program). And on top of that, I rly need to get my IB technicals down and I'm worried it will take a lot of my time. I will likely have more interviews during that week too (recruiting for IB rn). Not sure if its worth the time and energy. I'm leaning towards no, any advice?
