Speed Mentoring
The Speed Mentoring event will take place on October 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in Room Space 4, from 12:00 to 13:30. As this is a short event, we kindly ask participants to be punctual.
Students selected to participate have been informed about the day they will attend, and details regarding their participation will be printed on their conference badge, which they will need to show to access the event room.
Since the event takes place during lunchtime, lunch boxes will be provided for both students and mentors on-site.
Mentors will sit at tables (with 8-10 students each) and will hold an informal discussion on a particular topic (see a preview of the current mentors and topics below).
This is a mentor event curated by our Social Activities Chairs and is meant for networking with Senior Advisors and Industry leaders.
Please, contact the Social Activities Chairs with any questions regarding the Speed Mentoring event.
