Overall Review Sentiment for Braindate
Log in to view review sentiment.

I love getting to meet people who work in the same field that I do and speak with them one-on-one. As far as the main sessions go, when you're sitting in the audience, some are amazing and some are just okay. But I didn't regret going to a single small group or one-on-one braindate. I left with ideas and inspiration from what other companies are doing, and lots of new LinkedIn connections.
The Braindate staff were also lovely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The integration with the conference app was a little tricky: slow loading and challenging to click in and out of different braindates without losing your spot or filters. I ended up just opening the braindate website in my browser instead and switching between the app for conference sessions and the website for my braindates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. In virtual conferences, it is really hard to have meaningful conversations with people. Braindates let us do that.
2. Braindates allow for participants to speak directly to the speakers and panelists. We encourage all our speakers, panelists and sponsors to host Braindates and this is a fantastic opportunity for engagement on on topics they are passionate about.
3. Participants consistently rank Braindates as one of the most memorable, most valuable part of our events.
4. Love that this format works both in person and online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Like anything that is provides value, it takes time and energy to explain Braindates, encourage people to host them, remind them, remind them again, ect. It is worth the effort which is why we always include Braindates in our events, but the work should not be underestimated or else you will not get the full value out of this software.

“As an international association, we look for unique ways to help our community gather and connect. The Braindate platform was the perfect solution to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our global audience. Our virtual event resulted in dozens of peer-led conversations and hundreds of connections with incentive travel professionals from all over the world.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We loved Braindate! We look forward to using you again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This form of networking with people with similar interests really blew up my mind.People are naturally more open to sharing their experiences and stories on this magic platform. It’s more effective than attending big talks, and less stressful than having formal interviews.
During my 8 face-to-face Braindates on GHC, I learned so much focused career growth advice from senior leaders from other companies in the industry , and was glad I got the chance to share my personal experience with new grads looking to step into early careers as well!

Occasionally cannot re-schedule the meeting after confirmed by host.

It was incredibly helpful to have small group discussions to learn from peers and experts. I liked that it was structured by topic and you could select what you were interested in. The integration with the ProjectCon app made it easy to find sessions and topics. The texts to make sure I new it was upcoming was helpful to get me in the right place.

I would like to see expanded times available. There were times when I was making a choice of a braindate over a conference session. The schedule population was a little slow to connect to my conference schedule in the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Braindates have been offered for a number of years at my industry conference, but I'd always avoided them. It sounded unusual...
But this year I decided to opt in for one and... it was actually really great! Possibly the highlight of this year's conference.
Why?
Because who doesn't want to connect more meaningfully with their peers on topics they are experts in?
I made some fantastic new connections and dove deep on some cool topics. It helped me to understand best practice in a niche area and even to create a new podcast episode as part of one of my Braindates.
Overall, this will be something I'm honing in on at future conferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, I'd previously ignored Braindates because I find the name a little weird and creepy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I was invited to speak at the Workhuman Live conference in San Diego, I had the honor of meeting the amazing team and inspiring founder of Braindate Christine. That was also when I learned about their mission to connect people and help them learn from each other through braindates. From the outset, I was blown away by their platform! The best thing about Braindate, in my opinion, is how it fosters genuine human connections and facilitates meaningful conversations. I can't wait to see where their journey takes them and I fully endorse their platform. It's a fantastic way to learn and grow both personally and professionally.

Honestly, I can't say there is anything I dislike about Braindate. From my experience, the platform has been incredibly user-friendly, and the team has been super helpful and responsive whenever I had questions or needed assistance. I appreciate the mission of connecting people and facilitating learning from each other, and I believe Braindate is doing a great job of achieving that goal. Keep up the excellent work!

The ability for people who don't know each other to exchange ideas and get involved together on subjects of common interest, either face-to-face or online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think that the time planned for the sessions is fairly limited, and if possible we should think about allowing participants to continue their exchanges without necessarily ordering new sessions.
I also think that mixed sessions with face-to-face and remote participants should be planned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our conference was pretty large so it was difficult to get facetime with everyone who wanted it. Braindate provided us with a structured way to set up these face-to-face meetings so that we could make ourselves available to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I thought the meeting spaces could've been a bit more separated but I think that was a limitation of our conference space and not Braindate. Everything really was great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- the ability to suggest multiple time slots
- not blocking out diaries if there are pending requests
- ability to search by topic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- I really struggled to get a topic approved even after making it very broad. Turned out it was because I needed to delete and resubmit rather than edit and it wasn't the actual topics.
- this put me at a disadvantage as I was not able to request meetings with people who didn't have interests listed
- mobile app is not efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
