12 Braindates This year, we re excited to offer a new way of connecting. You came here to meet great people and learn about new things. But how do you spark those meaningful conversations? It all starts with a Braindate. Braindate removes the barriers to networking and helps you choose what you want to learn from the people around you. This experience is about sharing knowledge. Braindates are one-on-one or group conversations that you book with other attendees. Here s how it goes: Think about experiences that you ve learned from. Log into Braindate: Share that knowledge: click the + sign to create braindate topics - your life experiences, passions, new breakthroughs and business challenges. Personalize your profile: there are great questions waiting. To be visible online, you need to post a discussion topic so others can reach out to you.
