Trevor Foley, EIA Group Chief Executive, commented: "I have performed this connecting function on an informal basis for a number of years and now is a good time with a good reason for formalising it; creating this scheme makes the opportunity more widely known for all members to benefit from".
A summary of the team of mentors' CVs with further details is available on the EIA website.
A small percentage of the mentors' fees will go directly to EIA for administering the service - monies that will be directly allocated to the promotion of the events industry.
