Technica 2026 Mentor Form

Thank you for your interest in mentoring at Technica 2026! 

This year, Technica will be held from October 17th to October 18th. Over the course of Technica, mentors can either participate in-person at College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, or virtually, through our virtual meeting platform, Gather. Mentors will have the exciting opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise to aid hackers in bringing their ideas to life, while also enhancing their leadership skills.
