We always try to accommodate as many folks as possible in getting an opportunity to connect with a mentor each year. This year’s sessions filled up very quickly! We are always accepting new Mentors who want to sign up to offer a session. If you are a Sponsor, Industry Professional, Media Member, or Educator who would like to be a Mentor for a session or two, please click here to sign up! If you are a Mentee looking for an open session, check back to see if new sessions have come available.

Additionally, if you are particularly interested in a spot that is currently full, please contact shannon@historicrevelry.com to be added to a waitlist/backup list in case that person does not show up on the day of. We will text you and let you know of any last-minute openings.

Please note that being added to the waitlist does NOT mean you will be signed up for that spot if the person removes their booking. All bookings on this site are completely first-come, first-served. It only means that if the person who signed up for the spot does not show up on the day of the appointment, we will text you to see if you can make it. If you ask to be put on the waitlist, please ensure you are in the direct area of The Jupiter during that time so that if we call you with an available session, you are able to join us quickly and take advantage of the mentor’s time!
