"Braindate enables your attendees to drive discussions that matter most to them"
5/5
What do you like best about Braindate?

The best part of partnering with Braindate is that our attendees get to drive the discussions and topics that matter most to them instead of our organization trying to determine what we "think" they want to discuss. Removing us from this role has resulted in more authentic and long-lasting connections made during our conferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

The most challenging part of using Braindate is educating and teaching attendees a new behavior. The educational aspect surrounding Braindate needs to be considered in the planning process to ensure you're doing comprehensive education before the conference so that when attendees arrive on-site for our in-person events, they're already familiar with Braindate and know how to use it to its full potential.

"Hard to find relevant people"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Braindate?

People were there, you can read their profiles and message them. Honestly, I did not like the experience with the app, so it's hard to find what I specifically liked about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

You can't sort people. Y industry yoh are interested in ( ie CEO, CTO, VC), in order to meet someone you need to create topic and it's not intuitive what to do with this topics. It did not synchronise with the event calendar. If I am at talk, I can't attend the meeting. It was hard to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marie-Gil Vachon of Braindate

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We need it and and we're listening! I'm sorry your Braindate experience at SaaStr Europa wasn't on part with all your expectations. Indeed, Braindate doesn't provide you with a full list of attendees, you have to refer to the event app attendee directory to chat with the full attendance. On Braindate, it all starts with a topic or an interest to connect people more intentionally (not that we don't like a good old DM but it can quickly turn into spam). This year, we had half of the audience engaging in Braindate which is a great representation to tap into the collective knowledge around you. Year over year, we aimed to increase our overall participation. Hopefully, you'll give us a second chance and we get greater participation next year :)

I hear your wish to be able to filter people by attendee categories. I'm happy to share that it's in our product roadmap! This way, if you're looking to connect with investors or SaaS leaders you will be able to easy sort the market to find them by attendee groups. Quick search tip : you can also type in a title "CEO" in the search to find similar decision makers and business leaders to navigate the crowd more easily. As per our calendar sync capabilities, there was a 2 way sync in place so that your braindate meetings would be push into your event app personal agenda. Conversely, in the Braindate time picker, you were able to see if you had bookmarked a keynote session but it wouldn't block you from receiving invitations at that time. This allows you to have more flexibility in choosing which sessions are most valuable to you instead of an automated blocker which would limit your opportunities to choose from.

Helps in networking during events

Access to Linkedin profiles of participants

Good knowledge sharing in some instances

Easy interface to use

Both App and browser access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

The mobile app can be improved. The scrolling of brain dates and participants, and then when you are looking at a braindata, if you wish to go back, it scrolls you back up to the top so then you have to scroll down again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Braindates - An Engagement & Key Metric Powerhouse!"
5/5
What do you like best about Braindate?

As a meeting planner and a conference attendee I know most folks attend industry events with high expectations to learn stuff, meet people and have fun. Braindates hits all three while providing a waterfall of engagement key metrics in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

While it's not within Braindates control, for a number of organizations the attendee demographics might not adapt before they go, taking the "I'll see it onsite and experience Braindates at the conference." This can lead to a low adoption rate on paper, and causing organizational stakeholders to only focus on the number of meetings/"I" in "ROI. I would encourage organizations new to Braindates to also evaluate their event through several non-financial year-over-year engagement and feedback metrics/KPIs, including segmenting and surveying Braindate/non-Braindates participants (attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, first-timers, etc.) for NPS scores and in other areas of returning revenue.
