Braindate
Braindate lets you book one-on-one and small-group conversations with fellow attendees around the ideas, questions, and opportunities that matter to you. Bring a challenge you are working through, a perspective to share, or a topic you want to explore with others.
Whether you joined a Braindate at Meridian before or are new to the experience, it is a simple way to turn a shared interest into a conversation with purpose.
