What is a braindate?
You are attending the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference to meet great people and learn new things that can help you address the current challenges facing higher education IT. One of the best ways to do so is to connect with the right professional peers and corporate partners and have meaningful conversations about topics that are relevant to you.
How do you spark those meaningful conversations? It all starts with a braindate.
Virtual braindates are one-on-one or small group knowledge-sharing conversations that you book with other conference participants using the Braindate platform. They're the best way to meet with, learn from, and have useful discussions with new people during the conference—all virtually.
