We are testing it out at #NeurIPS2020. Sign up. Help us spread the word!

At the front page, you can see a list of upcoming sessions.
You can download the .ical and include in your calendar. If you log-in you can see the schedule your local timezone.

Easiest to login is to "continue with Google". Registering also works (a bit buggy atm).
Don't worry about spam. You have an option to opt out of emails when you enter your information.

Verify your email etc., and if it doesn't work, try logout and log in (that worked for me, but there is a bug somewhere).
You get to this page to update your profile. You can choose a timezone, email notification, write a bit about you, and choose your community.

After this, you should be able to see the sessions in your own timezone. If you are a mentee, then you are done. Note down the time and show up for the meeting. That's it!
Note that the video links are only available 30 mins before the meeting.

If you are a mentor, you can use 'Host/Edit mentor sessions'. You can delete/edit your session using the same button. You can add a video link (e.g., zoom).
If you use Hangout, try to include "https://" (sometimes it doesn't do that, I have heard).

Our hope is that this tool will be useful to connect mentors and mentees. We hope to roll out more features to promote a 'long-term' relationship. Read more about our mission in the FAQ/legal page.
This is all in beta right now, happy to get feedback!
Happy mementoring!
