"Braindate is the perfect platform for interactive, authentic conversations"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

I loved the smaller 8-person groups as well as the 20-person fishbowls where "watchers" could switch with the speakers to join the discussion on camera. Both formats felt intimate (especially compared to large view-only webinars) and allowed for interactive discussions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

I wish that the sessions were listed in chronological order, since many people wanted to look for sessions in specific timeslots that worked with their schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braindate solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used Braindate for an event that was specific to conversations around mental health, and it lent itself very well to create safe, intimate spaces for these sensitive discussions. Braindate allows everyone to be a "participant" rather than just an "attendee", which made all the difference to get people to open up and engage in the topics, which was exactly what we wanted. We don't believe we would have had the same impact and engagement with any other platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Braindate at Podcast Movement Denver"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

I enjoyed getting to know other podcasters in a more intimate, personal setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

I suppose it would be ideal to be in a private room vs out in the open with all the other sessions because it made it hard to hear at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Non believer to believer"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

Watching from a distance and never having participated, my first thought, this seems forced and dumb. Then I experienced one and immediately realized how ridiculous I was being. What a fantastic experience for any conference event. Very engaging, efficient and insightful conversations! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

Can't think of anything. Everything worked well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serendipitous encounters, at scale!"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

The fact that conversations are topic-driven, not title, industry or company.

I attend events of all sizes, and the biggest struggle is always the same: how do I meet the right people?

Braindate makes it easy to connect with those that will make your event worth your time and money.

Connecting on a topic you want to discuss allows you to meet with people you would have never met otherwise; I like to call it engineered serendipity! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

Some event organizers choose not to integrate Braindate with your event calendar, resulting in some no shows when people have to juggle between two calendars. It's not really Braindate's fault though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braindate solving and how is that benefiting you?

You meet the right people, at the right time, based on what you need to learn/accomplish.

When I attend an event, I get ready by listing the challenges I have with my business so I can find the right learning opportunities while at the event. I've found that most of my learning came from my braindate conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Platform for Meaningful Networking and Knowledge Exchange"

4/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

It offers networking opportunities and fosters knowledge exchange with like-minded professionals. The user-friendly interface and customizable experience make it easy to connect and engage in relevant discussions. The diverse perspectives brought together on the platform add depth to the conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

From what I've gathered, one minor downside reported by users is the occasional lack of available suggestions for braindates. It seems that some individuals have encountered situations where they couldn't find suitable or relevant options during their search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Braindate adds so much value to the typical business event/conference"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

I'll admit that I was skeptical of Braindate when I saw it implemented at other events and conferences - although it's always been popular whenever I've seen it. My favorite part about is that as an introvert, it provides a great setting to meet folks at an event. I love the size of the group discussions. I love the topics that the roundtables are centered around, and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

No real complaints from my side. I've had nothing but very positive experiences with it. There are always no-shows, and sometimes it can be hard to join a popular brain date, but overall I've really liked it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braindate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometimes going to a conference can be challenging and overwhelming. You want to network and make connections, but you don't necessarily just want to be walking the conference halls handing out business cards. Braindate allows you to meet folks in a setting and environment that's friendly, engaging and typically aligned around a topic that you are interested in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Human connections"

5/5

What do you like best about Braindate?

Braindate reminds us of the importance of learning from others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braindate?

Instead of having to scan a QR code, there could be an easier/frictionless way to connect digital after a braindate, ensuring that users stay in contact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
