PE diversity programs / events / symposiums

I am a current junior interning at a BB this summer and was beginning to think about PE. Are there any diversity programs / events / symposiums / pre-recruitment programs that you would suggest watching for this summer or my senior year?

Apollo Building Better Companies - after IB internship, you will receive an email from Apollo to apply. They accept basically everyone who applied and the program has no impact on recruiting.

Oaktree Future Leaders - apply through a link. Usually apps close January or February. Consists of ~150 college juniors / seniors. Not exclusively about PE, there is a lot about private credit.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Silverlake does a women’s program for college seniors as well.
