Having a mentoring relationship is often hailed as one of the most beneficial things you can do for your career and professional development.

We know that incredible benefits come with being a mentor as much as being mentored, including an enhanced professional network, increased engagement, and increased opportunities to collaborate on scholarly work.

As such, we are happy to announce that DSCO 2023 will have time dedicated for individuals hoping to connect with other academics or practitioners in particular areas of interest.

Dedicated space will be reserved for mentees and mentors to meet throughout the conference, and the Data Institute will also be sponsoring a mentorship lunch on Monday, March 13 to bring all mentors and mentees together for good food and meaningful conversation.

If you would like to participate as a mentor or mentee, please express your interest during registration.
