This first event will take the form of a Speed Mentoring session, to be held at the offices of Santander Asset Management Luxembourg (43, Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855, Luxembourg). The format will bring together 10 outstanding professionals (mentors) and 10 promising young participants in fast-paced and dynamic interactions, during which they will be able to share experiences, practical advice, and establish valuable connections.

This inaugural event marks the beginning of a three-stage cycle:

• Speed Mentoring: initial meeting to connect mentors and young professionals.
• Training Session: a follow-up meeting between the matched participants to deepen the mentoring relationship through thematic and training sessions.
• Closing Cocktail: a final event open to a mixed audience, in cocktail format, to share insights, experiences, and expand the professional network.

After confirming their attendance, participants in this first event will receive a short form to indicate their areas of interest and expectations, which will help facilitate the mentor-matching process.

This event has limited places and is reserved to women members. Registrations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline to register is 26 January 2026. This series will take place in Spanish.
