You are invited to join us on Thursday, November 21, 2019 for a speed mentoring event with a prestigious panel of executives.

The event’s keynote speaker is Jennifer Wagner, Managing Director, Global Head of Client Support, BNY Mellon Treasury Services.

This event is designed to maximize leadership development through mentoring. You’ll be given an opportunity to spend 7 minutes with as many as 5 different Pittsburgh technology executives to introduce yourself, tell them about your career aspirations and learn about their career story.

The full evening includes a photo booth, hot appetizers from Duolingo’s kitchen and plenty of time to network with other Pittsburgh technology professionals.
