Networking/Info Session Dilemma

Hey guys. I'm in the odd predicament that an alumni networking event is being held tomorrow at the same an employer presentation is being held. At the alumni networking event, my school is expecting several MD's and executives from big banks and asset management firms. While I would prefer to go to that event and get to meet some big shots, chances are a lot might flake on the event. Should i go to the info session or alumni networking event? Thanks

Go to the one that will have the best alumni. It sounds like the alumni session is your best bet.

If the employer holding the event is one of your top choices I would go with that one. It will likely be shorter than the networking event so once it's over you can swing by and network.
