Not this year. I went last year though and would recommend it. Tuck really does a great job with the program. Although I do think they could shorten it by a day, especially if you have GMAT studying and/or essay-writing to do.

Thanks for the feedback. Did you get one on one time with the admissions committee? or feel that it will help your candidacy?

I didn't get one on one with the admissions committee. Looking back, I don't really think there is time to do that. The schedule for the conference is pretty jam-packed and I also interviewed that weekend. The other thing is that the Admissions committee is pretty busy for obvious reasons, so I'm not sure if they themselves would have time for that. I guess after the introductary session of the conference where the AdCom has a Q&A might give you a few minutes to speak with an admissions committee member afterwards. But you'll have a lot of people who want to do the same.
That said, there are plenty of opportunities to interact with students and alums, and I even exchanged emails with the professor who did our mock class after the conference as well as with two alums with whom I bonded over dinner. Like any school visit, I would take the conference more as an opportunity to learn about Tuck and see if it's the place for you.
That said, you do get "credit" for attending the conference, which Tuck will note in your application file. And if you haven't written essays yet, the conference will probably give you examples of why you want to go to Tuck. It certainly did for me.
I will say I enjoyed hanging out with other students last year and was thrilled to see one of them here as a classmate. Downtown Hanover is very cute. You could walk to Lou's diner for some breakfast?
