Strategy& Insight Day

Is there anyone attending PwC Strategy& Insight Day?

I have no idea what to expect from this event.
The description says they will be sharing useful resources and personalised advice for the application as well as a chance for a mock interview. Should I be prepared for the case interview in this case?

If this can be converted into a summer, then yes you should be prepared

I'll be honest, I'm not doing much prep - sort of just hoping to engage with the staff on the day. Not sure how it'll be conducted since it's online but I guess I'll do my best!

It wasn't as useful as I'd hoped; there were a few workshops on what makes a good CV, some skills discussions, a guided case workshop, then some information about what the rest of the application process is like. I wasn't able to attend the in-person networking event, but it was supposedly quite a casual affair. I definitely don't think anyone would be particularly disadvantaged if they were to apply to the company without attending the day. We were actually told not to mention the insight day in our application.
