Thoughts on Attending 24th Annual REIT Symposium as a recent grad

Thought's on attending NYU's real estate symposium. The lineup looks great, but for the cost ($625 right now, $725 tomorrow on) is it worth it to go. I graduated in December and was looking to go as a way to learn about more players in the industry and get in front of other people in the industry/talk to them while at the conference the whole day. Anyone have any insight into what these are like, how beneficial it would be for me as a recent grad. I've never been to a Bisnow/TRD event or anything like that so not sure how networking would work for someone so new going to this. Any advice is appreciated.
