CAEM Mentorship Program - Mentee Application

About the program:

While this year's mentorship program may look a little different, during this time of uncertainty, we want to ensure the industry stays connected now more than ever. As such, we are pleased to launch the second year of the CAEM Mentorship Program. 

After a successful inaugural year of the CAEM Mentorship Program, CAEM is pleased to expand the program to not only foster mentor/mentee relationships, but enable peer-to-peer relationships. This year, mentee and mentor applicants will have the ability to select whether they'd prefer to be partnered with a mentor, mentee, or both! In facilitating a peer-to-peer program, we hope this fosters a greater sense of community during these unprecedented times.

Activate your event and exposition career with CAEM! The 2020 CAEM Mentorship Program will match leaders in Canada's event and exposition community with emerging business professionals to inspire and enable them to become the event and exposition leaders of tomorrow!
