Working Group Chairs,

IETF 100 is almost here and we are looking forward to seeing you in Singapore. 

Please consider participating in the Speed Mentoring Program at IETF 100. We will hold a one-hour Speed Mentoring session on Sunday, November 12 from 15:00-16:00 in the Stamford Foyer of the Raffles City Convention Center, directly prior to the Meet and Greet.  Beverages and snacks will be provided to all Speed Mentoring participants. Pre-registration is required and participation is strictly limited to the first twenty mentors who register, so please sign up only if you are confident that you will be attending IETF 100 in Singapore. 

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 Stamford Foyer to participate in the Newcomers' Meet-and-Greet from 16:00-17:00.
