Event Details

The BJCC Speed Mentoring Event is your chance to connect with 10+ Brisbane's most experienced senior leaders from diverse industries and career journeys.


Whether you're looking to accelerate your career progression, develop leadership skills, build your network, or navigate professional challenges, this event is designed to provide you with practical guidance and inspiring insights.


We'll start the night with canapรฉs, drinks, and networking with mentors and some of Brisbane's most motivated young professionals. Then you'll participate in five 20-minute mentoring rounds, where mentors work with two to three mentees from similar roles, interests, and career journeys.


As a mentee, you'll have the opportunity to select three preferred mentors (form emailed in advance). We will do our best to match you to your preferences.


Our mentor lineup is nothing short of impressive, including Partners, CEOs, Board Members, and Senior Consultants from industries like Accounting, Finance, Government, Human Resources, Law, Not-for-Profit, Professional Services, Recruitment, Sport, Technology, and more. Take a sneak peek at some of the mentors below, with more to be announced!


This isn't just another networking event โ€“ it's a rare opportunity to gain direct access to leadership insights and build meaningful connections that can accelerate your professional growth.


Spaces are limited to ensure an intimate and impactful experience, so secure your spot today!
