Why is such a meeting necessary?

Society, business, and education today need new approaches and solutions that meet the needs of the modern world. One of them is mentoring — a global trend that unites countries and industries.

Knowledge transfer through mentoring, intellectual volunteering in education and culture, mentor as a powerful role model… Mentoring programs are successfully implemented by well-known companies: NetCentrics Corporation, Boeing, Google, SottServe, Luxoft, Tickets.ua, Intego Group, General Electric, Whole Foods Market.

How does this phenomenon take root in Ukraine? What examples from world practice should be borrowed, and what approaches of Ukrainian companies should be scaled? These and other issues will be possible to discuss with experts from various industries and the IT community on October 2.
