Mentor Booth

We are thrilled to offer a dedicated Mentor Booth at this year’s ESA2025 conference. This booth will run across all days of the conference and provides a unique opportunity for Early Career Ecologists to engage in one-on-one ‘speed’ mentoring sessions with established ecologists across various fields, including local and state government, natural resource management, NGOs, industry, consultancies and academia.

Each mentoring session will be a concise 10 minutes, allowing you to seek guidance, ask
questions, and gain insights from experienced professionals in your area of interest.
Sessions will take place in the mornings before talks start, from 7:45 – 8:15 am, and during the lunch break.
