Mentor Session
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your mentor session. During this time you will be able to set up your materials.
Please bring a portfolio of your work, marketing materials and anything you would like the mentors to look at. Printed images are suggested; we will not have slide lights so slides will be very hard to read. We prefer that you bring images and not the actual pieces.
