Mentor Match 2026
Mentor Match brings DCs and students together for one purpose: kicking off mentorship relationships that last well beyond the weekend.
Here's How It Works
Friday evening, the Draft: DCs and students matched up live, right there in the room. And that's what makes this weekend different. The match happens at the start, so from that moment through Saturday night, you're learning, eating, and connecting alongside the person you'll spend the next year with, surrounded by the whole TLC community.
In between, the weekend is packed. Classes taught by DCs who are out there running real practices, with content built for both sides of the match. Students get a real look at what practice life actually takes. DCs walk away with strategies for growing as a practice owner that you can put to work Monday morning.

Tickets
DC Ticket: $355. Covers your classes, meals, and activities for the full weekend. Hotel is separate: you'll book your own room at the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center for Friday and Saturday nights, and we'll send the TLC room block code once registrations are in.
Student Ticket: $475, sponsored by your DC. If you're a DC matched with a student, you're covering their ticket too. It runs on your card July 10, two weeks before the event, and covers their classes, meals, activities, and Friday night hotel room (double occupancy), coordinated by TLC HQ. If you're coming without a student match, your $355 DC ticket is all you need.
Students: you don't purchase anything. You'll confirm your spot with code tlcmm26 and a $50 deposit, refunded at the end of the weekend as long as you're there both days. Your Friday night room is handled by TLC HQ. If you'd rather have a room to yourself, there's an additional cost that you'd cover; reach out to
Meals
Every meal from Friday dinner through Saturday dinner is included for everyone, DCs and students alike.
Tickets close end of day Monday, June 15.
This isn't a career fair. It's not a meet and greet. It's the start of something that outlasts the weekend.
