The Gender Committee of the ATBC will be organizing a speed-mentoring activity at the 2012 meeting in Brazil to facilitate information exchange and conversation among junior and senior women. This event will be held in the late afternoon following the official program sessions so that women can continue their conversations after the speed-mentoring activity has ended in an informal setting.
