Working Group Chairs,

IETF 104 starts tomorrow and we are excited to see everyone in Prague!

Please consider participating in IETF Quick Connections (formerly Speed Mentoring). We will hold a one-hour Quick Connections session on Sunday, 24 March from 15:00-16:00 in the Congress Hall 1/2 room of the Hilton Prague, directly prior to the Meet and Greet.  Beverages and snacks will be provided to all IETF Quick Connections participants. 

The IETF Quick Connections program 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 this session is one of the most helpful components of the IETF newcomers' program. 

After the IETF Quick Connections session concludes, we encourage you to remain in Congress Hall 1/2 to participate in the Newcomers' Meet-and-Greet from 16:00-17:00.
