Braindates

Dates & Times: Thursday November 10 & Friday November 11 from 9:00am – 5:00pm
                           Saturday November 12 from 8:00am – 12:00pm

Location: Braindate Lounge and online

New this year, attendees can have valuable structured networking via an innovative tool called Braindate.

A braindate is a knowledge-sharing conversation that participants can have one-on-one or in a group, on a topic of their choice either in person at the conference in the Braindate Lounge or virtually through the platform. This will enhance attendees’ experience at conference by providing them with a structured way to meet peers and learn from one another on topics they are most interested in.

Here’s how it works:
1. Attendees complete their profile and then post topics in the Braindate Topic Market for either a one-on-one or group Braindate.
2. Attendees find Braindates they are interested in and book them.
3. In-person attendees meet at the Braindate Lounge where they are greeted by a concierge who guides them to their meeting area. Virtual attendees login to the platform and join via video.
Note: In-person and virtual attendees meet separately.
