Hi Emily,

1) Always glad to hear speed mentoring is happening—let me know how we can help promote this on social (date, sign ups, etc)

2) Does it cause too much trouble if you have _both_ a mentee sign up and take walk ins? I would only advertise the walk-on option the week of the Summit. You might catch someone with a gap in their schedule who suddenly feels inspired to join!
