What is the point of doing this whole pony show if you've already signed an offer? Bankers are busy people and I don't think they will want to spend time catching up with an incoming SA, and I guarantee there is no expectation that an incoming SA will 'drop by' the office at some point before starting work. If you're worried about a return offer, it's about how you do on the job, not what your contacts think of you before you even start.

I agree with the other poster in that, if you really need to do something, have lunch with one person you really want to keep up with, but even that seems like a waste of everyone's time.

 
Funniest

Just stroll in and tell them you're an incoming summer analyst and they'll let you peruse the office and shake hands with all 20 people who have ever had the pleasure of having an awkward 20 minute phone conversation with you as if you were the goddamn POTUS.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
