We are excited to host a Speed Mentoring at the AIC Annual Meeting 2025, presented by the International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art (INCCA) and AIC's Contemporary Art Network (CAN!).
The event consists of up to three informal, 10-minute, one-on-one sessions with the mentors of your choice, pending availability. You can discuss anything with your speed mentor – this is your dedicated time to chat without the usual distractions of conferences! You can come and go as you please based on the time slot allotted to you for your mentoring sessions.
