Unfortunately, you can't choose your mentors or mentees. However our virtual space will include an open area for attendees to network freely outside of their scheduled mentorship time slot. 

Our team of industry professionals dedicates the time to ensure the best possible matches for all attendees. This includes a rigorous, manual process that looks at what mentees are looking for and what mentors are offering. This is how we maintain a high quality match for everyone.

All mentees will be matched with at least 2 mentors. 

In the Mentor signup sheet, you will dictate how many mentees you can be matched to. We will honor that selection. 

Starting October 1st, we will send email introductions to all matched attendees. This email will include an explanation on who your mentor or mentee will be, their experience so far, and what topics mentees would like to cover.

In your email introduction with your match, you will be encouraged to set up a time that works for both of you from October 15-17, 2021 on our virtual platform Gather Town or a video call platform of your choice.

However, we understand that sometimes finding availability can be difficult. If you can't find a time that's available, we encourage matches to find another date or time slot between October 11-22, 2021. 

All matches have a single 30-minute session. Sessions can be longer based on your match's availability. 

However, if you feel that you'd like to continue meeting with your match professionally, we encourage you to sync via email to explore the possibility of a ongoing mentorship arrangement.

In your email introduction to your match, we will include a list of topics to discuss based on your signup sheets.

In order to make the most of your time, we ask that:
1. You keep introductions short – that's what the email introduction is for!

2. Maximize your time with your match by limiting to 1-2 topics to discuss. Quality over quantity is best in this case.

First, reach out to your match to reschedule.
