ExpoBuddies
Mentoring Program

Are you attending ClickerExpo for the first time and/or looking to expand your positive reinforcement training community? Or are you an experienced professional who has attended ClickerExpo and is willing to show a new attendee the ropes?

The ExpoBuddies program pairs in-person ClickerExpo first-timers with more experienced ClickerExpo attendees for informal conversation and casual networking. Mentors may help the Mentee navigate the program, offer suggestions for making the most of the event, and share lessons learned from infusing their training plans with the information gained at ClickerExpo.

Signing up is as easy as registering for the conference—just look for the ExpoBuddies option during online registration for ClickerExpo Chicago. If you have any questions about the program, please contact events@clickertraining.com.

Requests to participate will be accepted until January 13, 2025 for ClickerExpo Chicago.

Please note that our ability to pair ExpoBuddies is limited; some applicants may be put on a waiting list. In the weeks before the conference, we will share matches so that ExpoBuddies may contact each other by email before the conference begins.

What to Expect with ExpoBuddies
