What is speedmentoring?

Modeled after speed dating, speed mentoring is a relatively new concept that focuses on quick-hit information, time-efficient networking and the methodical pursuit of a mentor. It addresses many of the disadvantages of both informal and formal mentoring for employees. By simply providing a venue and structured method for participants to seek out their own mentoring relationships during a fast-paced event, speed mentoring addresses [or solves] many disadvantages of formal mentoring programs.
