The International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art (INCCA) and AIC's Contemporary Art Network (CAN!) are thrilled to announce our yearly Speed Mentoring Session at the 52nd Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Wednesday, May 22, 2024 from 1:00-2:00 PM. These sessions create the chance for emerging conservators and those just entering contemporary art conservation to network through short (10 minutes) one-on-one conversations with established professionals in the field, without all the usual distractions associated with conferences. The session is an opportunity to ask these advisors anything! You can talk about them, about you, or about the field in general. You will have a one-on-one conversation, so nobody will interrupt you, and our impressive group of advisors are eager to listen, discuss and advise. At the end of your session, you will have an opportunity to meet the other attendees, or ask questions to the organizers from CAN! and INCCA.
If you are interested in reserving your time with any of the following mentors, please send an email to Andy Wolf and Liv Schoenfeld – can.ecpn.liaison@gmail.com with your top three preferences. Requests will be dealt with on a first-come first-served basis.
