Getting Started

When viewing the mentor lineup in the SXSW EDU Schedule, mentors will note if they are available for in-person or online sessions. If you have not already done so, begin by linking your badge with your personal link code.

Once you’ve accessed the mentor platform, you will be able to customize your mentorship experience:

• Update your profile
• Browse mentors and book sessions
• Review and access your session bookings
• Review your experience
• Contact live support
• For online mentor sessions, this is where you will join video calls

Setting Up Your Mentee Profile

As a mentee, you have access to a profile which mentors can view when you’ve booked with them. This helps mentors better understand the guidance you are seeking. This is not mandatory, but recommended.

Add any information you wish and “Update” to save. Click on “View profile” to preview what mentors will see.
