The not-for-profit mentorship programme, Elevate is inviting applications for its eighth season.
Founded in 2016 and led by Melissa Noakes, Max Fellows and Peter Kerwood, Elevate is free to join as either a mentee or mentor. It now boasts an alumni of more than 1,500 people from across every sector within the events industry.
Dan Keene, Elevate advisory board member and director at Wonder commented: “As an industry, we all have a collective responsibility to pass the baton on. Like many others, I wouldn’t be in the lucky position I am today without the help, belief, guidance and support of kind peers and mentors at critical moments of the journey. In its eighth year, it’s doubly impressive that we’re already seeing Elevate go full circle, with mentees of yesterday becoming the industry leaders and mentors of tomorrow.”
In 2023, 268 mentors and mentees from eight countries completed the mentoring programme. Mentees benefitted from 800+ mentoring hours fuelled by a combined 2,270+ years of experience from their industry mentors.
Anton Jerges, CEO at We Are Collider joined the Elevate advisory board this year. He said: “The Elevate programme is fantastic and the people behind it are brilliant. Mel, Max and Peter have created something incredibly professional. They are people with big hearts, and they set the tone for the organisation as a whole. A community of lovely, friendly people who want to do good things and help people do better, it’s amazing to be involved in something like that.”
Registrations will remain open until February with all mentee/mentor partnerships announced soon after. All applications should be made via the Elevate website: https://www.elevateme.co
