Mentor Mixer: Connect and Grow with Creative Professionals

Looking for expert guidance as you scale your business? Eager to monetize with brand partnerships but not sure where to start?

Join us for our first Mentor Mixer, where established creators will share their expertise and budding creatives will get to ask anything that's on their minds. The creative world can feel like a massive undertaking. Our mentors will offer actionable insight and guidance to help newer creators stay on the right track.

The activity: The afternoon will consist of a speed networking activity to break the ice. We'll have mentors seated across from mentees - conversations will last 5 minutes and then mentees will rotate. Following the activity, we'll transition into a mixer format for the conversations to continue.

The result: New connnections, helpful accumen and renewed confidence. We're sure each guest will walk away with useful insight for their upcoming endeavors, as well as meaningful connections!

Highlights:

• Speed networking activity
