What Your Colleagues are Saying

I thought it was great! Both group and one-on-one sessions provided a relaxed, intimate environment where I could ask questions that aren’t always easy to bring up after a session. I would definitely do Braindate again next year—it’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded people I might not have connected with otherwise.

Eric Rabbanian - Yale School of Management

I really enjoyed it—it was a great experience and well worth the opportunity. The format was engaging, and it provided valuable connections. This is definitely something worth having again next year, as it has tremendous potential for bringing the right people together.

Brian Casebeer - Casebeer McCollum Wealth Management of Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network

The format was great—it’s an excellent way to bring people together, explore different topics, and discover common threads for deeper connections. It was amazing to see diverse experiences come together in meaningful conversations.

Ross Riskin - Chief Learning Officer at Investments & Wealth Institute

I love the format and wish more people took advantage of it. It’s a fantastic way to connect with others on topics of interest and spark meaningful conversations.

Carrie George - Amplify ETFs

I love the ability to connect with new people who share similar ideas. Braindate is such a fantastic way to make the conference more engaging and interactive. I first experienced it at another conference and found it incredibly valuable, so when I saw it here, I knew I had to take advantage of the opportunity!
