Become a Relativity Fest Mentor
Make a difference in one student’s career and help nurture the next generation of e-discovery professionals.
About the Program
Small Commitment, Huge Impact
Each year, Relativity grants 25 Relativity Fest scholarships to outstanding law, cyber, paralegal, and data science students to help them learn about Relativity, explore career paths, and expand their professional network.
As a mentor, you’ll meet with your assigned scholar every month, from June through October. You’ll share your journey in the industry, what you’ve learned along the way, and help your scholar complete the Academic workbook. You will then decide together if you will study for a Relativity certification exam.
Then, the big moment: Relativity Fest
In October, mentors and scholars will come together at Relativity Fest* in Chicago for four days of education and networking.
Your job: introduce your scholar to your network and help them build long-lasting relationships. In return, Relativity will pay for your conference pass. It’s a win-win.
*Relativity Fest is October 7-9, 2025 at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago. Mentors will need to arrive before October 6 if they want to attend the scholar workshop on October 6 at Relativity’s office. They will depart after 5 p.m. on October 9.
