Mentorship is a two-way learning relationship. Great mentors create opportunities, not just advice. Everyone can benefit from both having a mentor and serving as one. Join us for this interactive panel discussion with industry leaders and learn from real-world experiences, understand the value of mentorship, and identify ways to build meaningful mentorship relationships. It's trade show season, and that means that our suppliers are going to be contacted by scammers trying to sell lists of our members and attendees. CAA NEVER gives out our lists to any third party and these companies are acting fraudulently. Please disregard any such emails and never reply or give them your information/money.
