The 17th Annual Mentoring Conference

The Mentoring Institute at UNM is pleased to announce the 17th Annual Mentoring Conference, Inclusive Developmental Networks: Building Transformative Communities Through Effective Mentoring. This five-day event will take place Monday, October 21st, 2024, through Friday, October 25th, 2024, at the UNM Student Union Building in Albuquerque, NM.

In 2023, The Mentoring Conference attracted 413 mentoring researchers and practitioners, with 87% of attendees being faculty, staff, or students from higher education and the remaining 13% consisting of professionals and practitioners from health care, government, non-profit, and business organizations. This year, due to an exciting new partnership, we are expecting a larger conference than ever before!

We invite faculty, staff, students of higher education, researchers, K-12 educators, community leaders, administrators, non-profit partners, government agencies, and other interested parties to join us for remarkable networking and educational opportunities through facilitated learning sessions, individual and panel presentations, hands-on experiential workshops, and daily plenary sessions.

Thank you for your proposals!

The 2024 Call for Proposals is now closed.

Testimonial From the Mentoring Conference:

“I am writing to express my comments regarding the conference. It was absolutely outstanding! This year was my first time attending, and I really learned a lot and was able to communicate with colleagues throughout the country. Every aspect of the conference was very professional, organized, thorough, and effective. [...] You provided a perfect conference, perfect organization, and perfect location! I really appreciated being able to interact with, communicate, and learn from professionals from different disciplines. Thank you!”
