New 2025 Feature:Braindate
What is a braindate?
New for GeoConvention 2025, delegates will have an entirely new way of networking and sharing ideas Featuring Braindate!
We are excited to welcome you to GeoConvention 2025 where you will learn and meet great people, but how do you spark meaningful conversation? It all starts with a braindate.
Launching in April, Braindates are one-on-one or small group conversations based on topics posted by you and fellow participants in the Braindate Topic Market. They can be used to brainstorm, solve challenges, share expertise or experiences while meeting new (brilliant!) people.
