should I network with analysts in a group I'm not interested in?

Hi all, I went to a Discovery Day where I had conversations with 5-6 analysts, all in the industrials group. However, I want to be in another group. This bank has a generalist program for the first six months of the analyst program. I was wondering if I should still arrange informational interviews with the analyst in industrials and how I should present myself?
