Speed Mentoring Event
Date:25 May 2025
Time: TBC
Location: CSA
The Speed Mentoring Event is a great chance to kick-start connections that build over time, create chance meetings and to meet with students, early stage professionals, experienced mentors and even possibly a future employer in the space operations industry.
Share a table with top managers and experts to ask questions, seek advice, and learn more about their personal experiences which shaped their professional careers.
This event is energizing for both students and young space professionals as well as the senior mentors, providing both groups with a unique networking opportunity.
Registration Costs: Event Registration is free.
Seats are limited. Applications will be evaluated by the event Organising Committee and candidates will be notified via email on the outcome. Apply ASAP!
How it Works
Each Student or Young Professional (Mentee) sits at one of the tables with one Mentor. Each Mentor gets 10 minutes at the table to talk about their personal career background, advice on how to develop a career/life path, and answer questions (Examples: “what was one difficult challenge you faced in your career and how did you overcome it?; What are 3 tips you learned over the years that you wish you knew earlier as a student or young professional?). After 10 minutes, the mentor must rotate to the next table and meet a new set of Mentees!
A networking event will take place after the speed mentoring event and will allow all the participants to further network and follow up on discussions with the mentors.
There is no registration fee, although places are limited, so book your participation at the SpaceOps Speed Mentoring session today!
