Mentoring makes a difference. WISE gives you a seat at the table.
This unique event helps more WISE members take the first step on the path to mentorship by combining the access and insights of a masterclass with the ease of a speed networking event.
Mentorship can take many forms. In addition to a single one-to-one relationship as in our WISE Within program, members also need greater access to a variety of leaders and peers to make the connections that can help them shape their careers.
Speed Mentoring Roundtables are designed to lower the barriers to entry. It's an easy, accessible platform to participate in meaningful dialogue, connect with peers, and build professional relationships.
At this event, mentees are assigned to a table (in-person or virtual) with a small group of peers. Mentors then rotate among roundtables to allow each peer group to meet with multiple mentors and garner different perspectives. This gives mentees a seat at the table with a seasoned industry veteran for a candid, meaningful, interactive discussion about the issues shaping our careers today.
The brainchild of the WISE Los Angeles chapter, the first event was piloted in 2013 and then rolled out across all WISE chapters as a WISE Within National Signature Event. Many chapters offer in-person events, connecting members within the local market for a different experience. Chapters holding Speed Mentoring Roundtables in 2026 can be found here.
