During San Francisco Design Week you want to meet interesting people, learn about new things and exchange ideas. But how do you spark those meaningful conversations? It all starts with a braindate.
Virtual braindates are knowledge-sharing conversations that you can browse and book with others on the Braindate platform. Whether one-on-one or in small groups, braindates are your opportunity to meet and learn from new people during San Francisco Design Week.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once you’re logged in you can set up your profile and either add topics you’d like to discuss or join discussion to topics others have posted. You can post topics based on your area of expertise or whatever it is you’re interested in. A good place to start when crafting your topic may be: What have you been working on lately that could use some peer feedback? How do you achieve work-life balance especially in shelter in place? What new tools are you using for collaboration? How is VR changing the space of architecture and interior design? Hot topics this year are Designing for trust, autonomous vehicles, accessibility, designing for disaster and sustainability.
WHEN DO THE ACTUAL BRAINDATES TAKE PLACE?
– We’ll be hosting continuous braindates on June 16th, 18th and 23rd between the times of 9am and 1pm PST. You’ll be able to select the specific time slots for your braindates, you choose based on topics.
