What is It?

Speed Mentoring is a networking event at which participants can ask experienced professionals those "everything-you've-always-wanted-to-know-but-didn't-know-whom-to-ask" questions. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with up to five mentors during the course of the event. Mentors, many of whom are experienced business executives, are knowledgeable and high profile professionals with decades of experience in the small business world.

How does it work? 

Participants will sign up in advance (see selection ) indicating the topic areas on which they would like to focus. Participants may select as many topics as they want, but must choose at least five. We will make every effort to pair mentors and participates based on these common areas of interest, but we cannot guarantee that everyone will receive their top choice(s).
When you arrive at the event, you will receive your table assignment(s).  Participants will move from table to table at 25 minute intervals meeting with up to five different mentors. SCORE staff and volunteers will facilitate the process letting participants know when it is time to move to the next table.  There will be several participants at each table, which will encourage interaction and discussion.
