Mentorship provides enormous support and guidance in building successful careers for mentees. The MPMI Assistant Feature Editors (AFEs) aim to provide a platform for early career attendees to learn and understand the effect of mentorship on career development. The Building Careers in Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions Through Effective Mentoring satellite meeting is intended to serve as a space to explore the influence of mentorship in career growth. Participants will hear talks from academic and industry professionals, sharing the role of mentors in shaping their careers, how to approach a potential mentor, and different mentoring styles. The talks will be followed by small group discussions, including one mentor, that delve into the specifics of mentorship and fostering personal growth and career advancement. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for both mentors and mentees to network and build meaningful connections.

We acknowledge the support of organizations such as the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, Terrana Biosciences, and Corteva Agriscience^TM. The workshop is offered at an affordable rate of $10. Registration is now open, and spots are limited. More details will be shared following registration.
