Wells Fargo vs Guggenheim ?

I have the opportunity to attend a networking event (pre-mba) with Wells Fargo (IB) and Guggenheim Securities, but they are at the same time. After my MBA, I would like to go to M&A IB to then exit into PE. Which networking event would you recommend going to ?

I'm not in the M&A group but I've been at Wells for 2 years now and have really liked it. I'm in the NYC office. My comp has been good, the work life balance has been good, and the bank has been putting a lot of effort into growing out the Corporate & Investment Bank in general. 

I can't speak on Guggenheim obviously.
