Speaker Mentoring
BSides Gold Coast will be offering a mentoring program for speakers specifically those who sign up for the
Rookie track. You can also request a mentor for the general track if you would like that little bit of extra help or
support.
Our goal is to remove the barriers that would prevent someone from submitting their work, and
to equip those individuals with the skills they need to successfully present their work.
If you would like a mentor, please include this request when you submit your paper. Please note
ALL speakers in the Rookie track will be paired with a coach. This is part of the Rookie track
submission, so please consider this when you submit.
