Apply here to be an IDUG Mentor!
IDUG wants to recognize and help its long term members who regularly attend IDUG conferences and share that knowledge with their co-workers. As every year gets harder to justify conference attendance, IDUG wants to make this year special for you with an unprecedented offer. If you qualify to be an IDUG Mentor, here is just a snapshot of what awaits you at IDUG's North American, EMEA, and Australasia Conferences:
-
Recognition at the opening session
- Eligibility to apply for an 80% discount coupon to bring a first-time attendee
Subject to availability, the Mentor may also receive:
-

Mentor SIG for you to share training ideas
IDUG knows that companies are cutting back on training budgets given the current economic climate. Some companies are now deciding whether you, the team expert, or a less experienced team member should be the one sent to training. In many cases, they are saying that the budget this year is too tight to allow anyone to go. To show you appreciation for your past IDUG conference attendance, we want to offer you the ability to convince your manager this is the BEST time to send you AND a new team member.
To become an IDUG Mentor, you must have attended 5 major IDUG Conferences; North America, EMEA, or Australiasia in the past 10 years and submit an application listing the conferences and years that you have attended. With your full price conference registration, you become eligible to apply for a coupon worth up to 80% off the registration rate for a brand new IDUG conference attendee who acompanies you to Australiasia 2010, EMEA 2010, or North America 2011.
