Mentors

The mentors of The Gathering 2010 are skilled creative people who are available to help you within their fields of expertise. You can find mentors in the fields of programming, graphics and music production in the Creative Lounge every day. They can give you assistance on your own level, whether you are a beginner or already quite skilled yourself. Talking to the mentors can be a nice way to get introduced to the creative scene at The Gathering.

The mentors will be available full time, and not just on a shift basis as last year. However, the mentors may be busy working on their own contributions or helping others at the time you are there. If in doubt who to talk to, ask in the helpdesk, and they will introduce you to an available mentor.
