is the intent of those who invited you.
They are not interested in the pleasure of your company.
The dinner will likely be in a private room (if there is one) of the main establishment, rather than the main dining room
Even if you do not bite (figuratively) during their presentation, you can expect to hear from them into the future.

If you go, I hope you enjoy the dinner.
