Throughout EduCon, you’ll meet brilliant people and learn new things. Make new connections and share knowledge with Braindate–an innovative Montréal-based peer learning tech platform that empowers you to learn better and connect deeper through intentional conversations.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE BRAINDATES?
Braindates are 1:1 or small group conversations with other attendees based on topics posted by you and fellow participants in the Braindate Topic Market. They can be used to brainstorm, ideate, problem solve, and share expertise–all while building new relationships.

- Once EduCon begins, you’ll connect with your Braindates on-site in the Braindate Lounge. Our Learning Concierges will be available to assist you in the Lounge!
HOW TO HOST A MEANINGFUL BRAINDATE
Whether it’s a one-on-one or group Braindate, keep the following 5 tips in mind to lead a meaningful Braindate for everyone involved:
- Make sure everyone introduces themselves and contributes to the discussion.
- Ask the participant(s) what interested them about the topic.
- Be transparent and honest about your own experience related to the topic: You don’t need to be an expert to lead a Braindate.
- Don’t forget that everyone has something interesting they can add to the conversation: Adopt a beginner’s mindset.
- Don’t forget to share contact information. Many great relationships started with a simple conversation.
