We still have 14 mentor slots to fill for tomorrow’s Speed Mentoring session, so I’m hoping that some of you will consider signing up. As I noted in my initial email, we are trying something a bit different for IETF 99. 

We will hold a one-hour Speed Mentoring session tomorrow, Sunday, July 16 from 15:00-16:00 on the Summer Terrace, directly prior to the Meet and Greet.  Beverages and snacks will be provided to all Speed Mentoring participants. Pre-registration is required for both mentees and mentors. 

Speed Mentoring is a quick and effective way to be of help to a variety of IETF newcomers. You will spend five-to-ten minutes with each match before moving on to another person. While this is not a lot of time, it is enough to cover the basics (e.g. areas of interest) and then of course you are encouraged to continue the conversation throughout the meeting week. We anticipate that you will speak with fifteen different people in this one-hour session. Newcomers consistently report that the Speed Mentoring session is one of the most helpful components of the IETF newcomers' program. 

After the Speed Mentoring session concludes, we encourage you to remain in the Summer Terrance to participate in the Newcomers' Meet-and-Greet from 16:00-17:00.
