Frequently Asked Questions
What is Braindate™?
Braindate helps you tap into the experiences and expertise of your fellow participants at events. It’s an easy way to connect and learn from each other through conversations about things you care about. Share your knowledge and book one-on-one or group conversations called braindates with other participants on the Braindate platform, then meet in person for (awesome) conversations!
What is a one-on-one braindate?
A one-on-one braindate is a 30-minute conversation that the host sponsor(s) book with attendees at an event.
There are two ways Braindate meetings are setup. The host Sponsor will send direct invites or if an attendee sees a 1:1 topic on the Braindate platform that interests them, they can request the sponsor of the topic for a meeting, by proposing times to meet. Once the sponsor accepts a proposed time, you meet with them for your braindate, at that time, on the Braindate platform for a video chat. At live events, the braindate would take place at the Braindate Lounge.
What is a group braindate?
A group braindate is a 45-minute collaborative conversation that you have with up to 5 people at an event.
Like above, the host Sponsor will send direct invites and if an attendee sees a group braindate topic on the platform that interests them and there is availability, they can immediately join by reserving a spot. The braindate takes place at the time proposed by the sponsor of the topic. Once it’s time for your braindate, you meet with your group at the Braindate Lounge.
The group braindate format is best if you’d like to hear multiple perspectives on a single topic. The sponsor of the topic acts as the moderator, making sure that everyone in the group is able to contribute to the conversation.
Why is Braindate different from networking?
Getting to know people at events can be difficult: time is limited, and traditional networking can feel uncomfortable. Braindate gives you a platform to explore and share specific knowledge and experiences, so that you can have more authentic conversations with new people who share common interests. It gives you direct access to the collective genius of your fellow participants!
What’s a learning concierge and how can they help me?
