Braindates

Make Your Next Great Connection with Braindates

This year, we’re introducing Braindates—a new, more meaningful way to connect with fellow attendees around the topics that matter most to you.

Braindates are one-on-one or small-group conversations driven by your interests, questions, and expertise. Instead of leaving networking to chance, you can browse the Topic Market, find people who share your interests, and book time for a focused conversation. It’s an easy way to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and make connections that continue beyond the event.

How It Works

Beginning in early November, you’ll be able to:

  1. Explore the Topic Market
    Browse topics created by fellow attendees—from challenges they’re working through to ideas and experiences they’re ready to share.
  2. Join the Conversation
    Choose a topic that interests you and book a one-on-one or group Braindate. You can also post a topic of your own and invite others to connect with you.
  3. Meet at the Event
    Head to the Braindate Lounge in the Exhibit Hall at your scheduled time and get ready for a valuable conversation.

Your Braindate Lounge

The Braindate Lounge will be your home base for meaningful conversations at the event. It’s where you’ll meet for your scheduled Braindates—and where you can connect with the Concierge team for help exploring topics, booking conversations, or getting more from the experience.

Start Early—or Join Onsite

The Braindate site launches in early November, but there’s no need to have everything planned at once. You can browse topics, post your own topics, and book Braindates anytime from launch through the onsite event.

Your fellow attendees bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and fresh perspectives. Braindates make it easier to find the right people—and start the conversations you won’t want to miss.
